After the change, sunrise and sunset both come one hour later on the clock: mornings are darker again for a few weeks, and evenings stay light for longer.
Daylight saving time is observed in every US state except Hawaii and most of Arizona, where clocks stay the same all year; the US territories do not use it either. Most of Canada changes on the same day. Mexico ended daylight saving time in 2022, except in some places along the US border.
