There are no more sunsets after 7 p.m. for these cities starting this week
Starting this week, certain cities will no longer experience sunsets after 7 p.m. Permanent daylight saving time remains a possible policy option, but it would not stop sunsets from ending before 7 p.m. in those places.
Why It Matters
The timing of sunset affects evening daylight available to residents and local activities; because permanent daylight saving time would not change this outcome, clock-policy changes would not prevent earlier evening sunsets in the affected cities.
Key Facts
- Timing: No more sunsets after 7 p.m. starting this week
- Policy option: Permanent daylight saving time is still possible
- Effect of policy: Permanent daylight saving time would not prevent the end of sunsets after 7 p.m.
Beginning this week, residents of certain cities will see the last of evening sunsets that occur after 7 p.m. Those communities will no longer experience sunsets later than 7 p.m. on the clock, a change taking effect this week.
The possibility of adopting permanent daylight saving time remains on the table, but that option would not alter the basic outcome: sunsets in the affected cities would still end before 7 p.m. even if clocks were kept on daylight saving time year-round.
Because the announced change and the daylight-saving policy scenario lead to the same practical result for evening light in these locations, adopting permanent daylight saving time would not prevent the earlier end to post-7 p.m. sunsets.
Residents and organizations in the affected cities should expect evenings to be earlier in clock time going forward and plan activities accordingly, since the shift in sunset timing will be in place starting this week.
