Daylight Savings 2009 | When does daylight savings start?

People might tend to ask “When does daylight savings start?” The Daylight Savings 2009 starts on the second Sunday of March, which is March 8 and ends on the first Sunday of November, that is November 1. So daylight saving time starts tomorrow, adjust your clock forward 1 hour at 2.00 AM on Sunday.

According to Wikipedia:
Daylight saving time or DST is the convention of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less. Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are adjusted backward in autumn.

The practice is controversial. Adding daylight to afternoons benefits retailing, sports, and other activities that exploit sunlight after working hours, but causes problems for farming, entertainment and other occupations tied to the sun. Traffic fatalities are reduced when there is extra afternoon daylight; its effect on health and crime is less clear.

Most of the world has implemented Daylight saving time or DST except for countries around the Equator. Approximately 70 countries practices Daylight Saving Time. Japan, China and India are some major industrialized countries that do not observe daylight saving time.
