Daylight Savings 2018

Daylight Savings time abbreviated as 'DST'.

Historically, daylight saving time has begun in the summer months and ended for winter, though the dates have changed over time as the U.S. Government has passed new statutes, according to the United States Naval Observatory (USNO).
