What is Daylight Saving Time?
Daylight Time saving has been in trend for a very long time and if you still struggle to understand what it is, then we have come to ease it out for you.
Daylight Time Saving is a practice of changing clock time and setting it one hour ahead during the winter to increase the use of daylight.
This enhances the use of natural daylight in the evenings. The clocks are set one hour forward in spring and set back by one hour to return to standard time in fall back.
This process shows that sunrise and sunset occur later in the day.
Who began the culture of DST?
The trend of Daylight saving time (DST) was initiated by Germany during World War I. After which the UK, US, and countries like Canada found it helpful.
Now most of Europe, and many countries follow daylight saving time. But it’s not that every place finds it reliable; American Samoa, Hawaii, and even Arizona do not follow this clock.
We don’t see a bright future of daylight saving time, it feels like in some years it might vanish because there are many who don’t acknowledge the need to set clocks twice a year.
Along with most Americans Trump is also not a big fan of it. He once said in truth social that the republican party will use full force to eliminate daylight saving time.
Which is a small but strong region, they found the concept unreliable and very expensive to the nation.
