New jersey time change
New Jersey, like most of the United States, observes daylight saving time (DST). During DST, clocks are set forward one hour in the spring, typically on the second Sunday in March, and set back one hour in the fall, typically on the first Sunday in November.
Here are the specific dates for New Jersey's time changes:
- Spring forward: Second Sunday in March, at 2:00 a.m. local time. Clocks are set forward one hour.
- Fall back: First Sunday in November, at 2:00 a.m. local time. Clocks are set back one hour.
After the spring forward, New Jersey is on Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is UTC-4. After the fall back, New Jersey is on Eastern Standard Time (EST), which is UTC-5.
It's worth noting that some areas of New Jersey, such as Atlantic City and Cape May, are in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) and do not observe DST. However, the majority of the state follows the Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) and Eastern Standard Time (EST) schedules.
