Daylight Savings Time 2007 Update

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 now adds four weeks to our usual daylight-savings time. So get ready to spring forward an hour on March 11 and fall back on November 4 this year.

The Windows Mobile website reports on the Daylight Saving Time 2007 Update...

Congress has changed the dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the United States starting in 2007. These changes could cause clocks and Microsoft Outlook calendar appointments on portable Windows Mobile-powered devices to display incorrect times for March 11 – April 1, 2007 and October 28 – November 4, 2007 and again in subsequent years. This will also affect Outlook Calendars running on corporate email systems on Microsoft's Exchange servers.

Daylight Saving Time (DST) will now start three weeks earlier (2:00 a.m. on the second Sunday in March) and will end one week later (2:00 a.m. on the first Sunday in November.) Canada has adopted similar DST dates.

Previously, Daylight Saving Time began the first Sunday in April, which would have been April 1, 2007. Under the new law, DST will start on the second Sunday in March, that will now be March 11, 2007 .

Daylight Saving Time would have ended on the last Sunday in October, which falls on October 28, 2007. With the new law, DST will end on the first Sunday in November, which will now be November 4, 2007.

Under the change, daylight-saving time will start a month sooner in March, and standard time will not return until November. Congress hopes to reduce our national energy consumption with the extra hours of daylight.
