Finally, fall has arrived in Florida, which means that 2025 is almost over.
There will be some adjustments, even if it might not have much of an immediate impact on Florida’s weather.
This is due to the fact that Daylight Saving Time will cease on November 2, 2025.
In order to accommodate for additional sunlight during the spring and summer, clocks were moved forward by one hour when Daylight Saving Time first began in March.
Instead, clocks will be moved back one hour beginning at 2 a.m. on Nov. 2, which means that dawn and sunset will occur approximately one hour earlier than they did the day before.
But not everyone in the Sunshine State enjoys this yearly tradition.
In 2018, former Governor Rick Scott of Florida signed HB 1013 into law, ensuring that Daylight Saving Time would remain in effect for all Floridians. Numerous states have sought to stop the practice, including Florida.
However, the measure wouldn’t go into force unless the U.S. Congress changed the statute to include year-round daylight saving time.
Former U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) presented the “Sunshine Protection Act” shortly after the measure was approved in an attempt to take the reform to the federal level. The issue is that ever then, it has been stuck in legislative limbo.
Although another Florida politician, U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Florida), has picked up Rubio’s cause and reintroduced the measure back in January, Rubio was later selected as the U.S. Secretary of State under President Donald Trump.
