Daylight Saving Time Ends Sunday in Los Angeles, Bringing Sunset to Around 5 p.m.
Clocks across California fall back one hour at 2 a.m. Sunday, November 1, returning Los Angeles to Pacific Standard Time and giving Halloween night an extra hour, with sunset arriving around 5 p.m.
Daylight saving time ends in the early hours of Sunday, November 1. At 2 a.m., clocks across California fall back one hour to 1 a.m., marking the return to Pacific Standard Time. Because Halloween falls on Saturday this year, the change happens overnight after the festivities, giving Los Angeles households an extra hour that night.
The most visible change is in the evening. According to Griffith Observatory's 2026 sunrise and sunset calendar, sunset in Los Angeles will occur at approximately 5 p.m. on November 1, rather than closer to 6 p.m. as in recent weeks. Sunset moves to 4:59 p.m. on Monday, November 2, and continues earlier through the month, reaching around 4:43 p.m. by the end of November.
The trade is brighter mornings for earlier evenings. Daylight will continue to decrease through December 21, the winter solstice and the shortest day of the year. The station's live weather feed adds a practical note for Sunday itself: a high of 68.5 degrees with a 66 percent precipitation chance, the wettest day in the current outlook.
