United States and Canada

On Sunday, March 10th 2013 most of the United States and Canada will move forward one hour, 02:00 to 03:00 (2 AM to 3 AM).

On Sunday, November 3rd 2013 most of the United States and Canada will revert back one hour, 02:00 to 01:00 (2 AM to 1 AM).


Why does the United States and Canada change so early?
Energy Policy Act of 2005 was signed into law by President George W. Bush on Monday, August 8th 2005.

SEC. 110. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS.
     (a) AMENDMENT.—Section 3(a) of the Uniform Time Act of 1966
(15 U.S.C. 260a(a)) is amended—
          (1) by striking “first Sunday of April” and inserting “second
     Sunday of March”; and
          (2) by striking “last Sunday of October” and inserting “first
     Sunday of November”.
     (b) EFFECTIVE DATE.—Subsection (a) shall take effect 1 year
after the date of enactment of this Act or March 1, 2007, whichever
is later.
     (c) REPORT TO CONGRESS.—Not later than 9 months after the
effective date stated in subsection (b), the Secretary shall report
to Congress on the impact of this section on energy consumption
in the United States.
     (d) RIGHT TO REVERT.—Congress retains the right to revert
the Daylight Saving Time back to the 2005 time schedules once
the Department study is complete.

If you live outside of the United States or Canada all the restart times/castle sieges/events will be 1 hour early.
