New orleans daylight savings time

New Orleans, like the rest of the United States, observes Daylight Saving Time (DST). During DST, clocks "spring forward" one hour in the spring and "fall back" one hour in the fall.

Here are the dates for DST in New Orleans:

• Spring forward: Second Sunday in March, at 2:00 a.m. local time. Clocks move forward one hour.
• Fall back: First Sunday in November, at 2:00 a.m. local time. Clocks move back one hour.

During DST, New Orleans is in the Central Daylight Time (CDT) zone, which is UTC-5. When DST is not in effect, the city is in the Central Standard Time (CST) zone, which is UTC-6.

It's worth noting that some areas of Louisiana, including the city of New Orleans, also observe a unique time zone known as the "New Orleans Time Zone". This time zone is 25 minutes ahead of the standard Central Time Zone, and is used for some official purposes, such as scheduling and timekeeping. However, for most practical purposes, New Orleans is considered to be in the Central Time Zone.
