Daylight Saving Time to Conclude in Cleveland-Akron (Canton) Area
In the Cleveland-Akron (Canton) area, Daylight Saving Time is ending, with clocks set to fall back one hour on November 1.
Cleveland Akron, OH, October 4, 2026 — The annual observance of Daylight Saving Time is set to conclude in the Cleveland-Akron (Canton) region. On November 1, residents will experience the change as clocks are scheduled to be set back by one hour. This marks the end of daylight saving for the year, returning the area to standard time.
The transition signifies the shift from longer daylight hours in the evening to shorter days as the autumn season progresses. Following the change, mornings will become lighter earlier, while evenings will grow darker sooner.
The practice of adjusting clocks for Daylight Saving Time has been a recurring event in many parts of the United States. The specific date for the end of Daylight Saving Time can vary slightly year to year, but it consistently occurs in early November. In the Cleveland-Akron (Canton) area, the official change will take place on November 1.
Residents are advised to adjust their clocks accordingly before going to sleep on the night of October 31 or upon waking on November 1 to ensure accuracy. This includes manual timekeeping devices such as wall clocks, alarm clocks, and watches, although many digital devices and computers automatically update their time.
The return to standard time will be in effect until the spring, when Daylight Saving Time will recommence. The exact date for the start of Daylight Saving Time in the following year is typically set by federal law.
