Clocks “Spring Forward” Tonight as Daylight Saving Time Begins

Residents across Chattooga County and Northwest Georgia will need to set their clocks forward one hour tonight as Daylight Saving Time begins Sunday, March 8, 2026.

The time change officially occurs at 2:00 a.m., when clocks move forward to 3:00 a.m. This means people will lose one hour of sleep, but evenings will have more daylight in the coming months.

Daylight Saving Time is used across most of the United States to make better use of daylight during the warmer months. With the change, sunsets will occur later in the evening, giving residents more daylight after work and school.

Fire officials also remind residents that the time change is a good opportunity to check smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, replacing batteries if needed to ensure they are working properly.

Daylight Saving Time will remain in effect until Sunday, November 1, 2026, when clocks will “fall back” one hour.
