How short will days get before daylight saving ends? See Wichita sunrise, sunset times
Bad news for those who like sunlight in the evening — the days in Wichita are getting shorter and shorter leading up to the end of daylight saving.
While daylight saving time ends in about six weeks, the sun will continue to rise later and set earlier. On Sunday, Nov. 3, the clock will be pushed back an hour, making the sunset times in the U.S. even earlier.
“Wait, didn’t we get rid of these time changes?” you might wondering. No, but there have been several attempts to.
Nineteen states have passed legislation to make daylight saving time the permanent time. (Kansas isn’t one of them.) The bills cannot go into effect unless the federal government adopts similar legislation, which has yet to happen.
So, until the government says so, you’ll continue having to set your clock back or forward twice a year. Here’s what to know leading up to the annual fall back in Wichita.
