Greenville, SC – Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at 2:00 AM. Residents must set their clocks forward one hour, marking the start of longer daylight in the evenings.

According to the National Weather Service, sunset will shift to 7:31 PM, giving an extra hour of daylight in the evening. The transition can disrupt sleep schedules, so experts recommend adjusting bedtime gradually.

Officials suggest using this time change as a reminder to replace batteries in smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and NOAA weather radios. These small precautions can enhance household safety.

Health experts advise getting sunlight early in the morning to help reset the body’s internal clock. Avoiding caffeine late in the day and maintaining a consistent bedtime can ease the adjustment.

Daylight Saving Time will remain in effect until November 2, when clocks “fall back” one hour. For now, enjoy the extended daylight and plan accordingly for the time shift.
