AUSTIN (KXAN) — Now that October is here, the countdown is truly on for the end of Daylight Saving Time and the beginning of Standard Time in just a few weeks.

November 2 is the magical date when we "fall back" making it barely over one month away. The yearly occurrence acts as a time shift when we set our clocks one hour earlier.

The difference between now and the first day of Standard Time is more light in the morning, but much earlier sunsets in the evening.

As it is, we’re losing almost two minutes of daylight per day.

Key dates: Sunrise and sunsets • Oct. 14: Last sunset of 7 p.m. or later for 2025 • Nov. 1: Last day of Daylight Saving Time Sunrise: 7:45 a.m., Sunset: 6:43 p.m. • Sunrise: 7:45 a.m., Sunset: 6:43 p.m. • Nov. 6: First day of Standard Time Sunrise: 6:46 a.m.,
