Standard Time returns 2am Nov 1 fall back 1 hr

FallDaylightSavingsJamestown (CSi) Standard Time returns at 2-a.m. November 1,2015, so “fall back” into Standard Time.

You’ll want to turn your clocks back one hour before you go to bed Saturday night, Oct. 31, 2015.

Daylight Saving Time 2015 is the practice of setting the clocks forward one hour from Standard Time during the summer months, and back again in the fall, in order to make better use of natural daylight.

The good news for the early risers is that sunrise will be about an hour earlier and there will be more light in the mornings, but it also means sunset will be at 4:53 p.m.

(CSi) The Red Cross reminds residents  that when they turn the clocks back one hour this weekend to return to Standard  Time,  they should also consider checking their smoke alarms as well.

Regional Communications Officer, Brian Shawn, says “It’s important for everyone to make sure their household is ready. A disaster like a home fire can happen anywhere, at any time. We urge people to take these steps now and know what they should do if an emergency occurs.”

Shawn is reminding residents to check batteries, install smoke alarms, practice an escape plan, get a kit, and be informed. Standard Time will start this November 1st, so set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed on October 31st.
