The short version

A clearer way to read
the clock change.

Daylight saving time in 2029 shifts the clock forward for part of the year, then shifts it back to standard time. The dates are not worldwide: the United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand follow different calendars, and some countries never change their clocks.

Use the 2029 table below as a planning reference for 9 regional examples, including United States, Canada, Europe & United Kingdom. “Start” means the local clock moves forward, so the night is shorter. “End” means the local clock moves backward, so one hour repeats. Exact transition times depend on the location’s time zone.
