Louisiana’s Clocks Fall Back An Hour On November 2
Lake Charles, La [KNGT-FM] - It is that time of the year again when it is going to start getting darker earlier, and you won't have a lot of time to get things done in your yard after work. That is because this weekend starts Daylight Saving Time, where clocks get set back one hour.
As the days grow shorter, Louisiana residents are preparing for a familiar yearly ritual. On Sunday, November 2, 2025, at 2:00 a.m., clocks across the state will “fall back” one hour, returning to standard time.
That means an extra hour of sleep and earlier sunrises for your morning commute. While some people enjoy the extra daylight of long summer evenings, others prefer the brighter mornings of standard time.
