It’s time to set your clocks and watches one hour ahead.

The shift from standard to daylight saving time officially comes at 2 a.m. Sunday across much of the country. Daylight will last longer into the evening but take an hour longer to emerge in the morning.

No time change is observed in Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas.

It’s a good time to consider installing fresh smoke detector batteries.

Standard time returns Nov. 3.
