When Will Southern Indiana Spring Forward – And Will This be The Last Time?

According to the Farmer's Almanac, the first official day of spring is Friday, March 20, 2025. And that means we will soon have more daylight into the evening hours.

Why Do We Fall Back and Spring Forward?

I have never understood the concept of losing an hour and then gaining it back in the next season. That's probably because I was not alive in 1918. The Germans thought it would be a good idea to extend the hours of daylight during the war. They could save on fuel power this way. The United States decided to do the same thing. But, after World War I, it was up to each state.

Don't Blame the Farmers!

In clock lore, many people blame the twice-a-year clock change on farmers. Farmers don't have anything to do with it. The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) oversees the nation's time zones. This is because time and travel go hand-in-hand. It keeps everything running smoothly.

Daylight Saving Time 2025

First of all, make sure you say it correctly “Daylight Saving Time".The Farmer's Almanac is a great resource for all sorts of things from weather predictions to the best day to cut your hair. This is the time of the year when I like to double-check when we lose that hour of sleep but gain more sunshine. Start counting down the Sundays - We 'Spring Forward' Sunday, March 9, 2025. The longer days and shorter nights will switch back on Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2:00 AM.

Honestly, I'm not sure if Indiana will spring forward, and then stay at that time. President Trump has not announced any official changes as of today.
