Daylight Saving Time changes in USA & Italy, Fall 2025
On Sunday, November 2, 2025, Daylight Saving Time will end for the year in most of the U.S. (not for most of Arizona and all of Hawaii). When local daylight time is about to reach Sunday, November 2, 2025, 2:00:00 am, clocks are turned backward 1 hour to Sunday, November 2, 2025, 1:00:00 am.
As Radio Italia with Ciro Giorgio (www.kwss.org) is broadcast from the part of Arizona which doesn't follow DST, the weekly program runs from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Arizona time every Sunday morning throughout the year. For listeners on the East Coast (NY), Radio Italia with Ciro Giorgio will run from noon to 1 p.m. every Sunday until next March. (2 hours difference instead of the current 3 hours)
Daylight Saving Time has already ended in Italy, which means Radio Italia with Ciro Giorgio plays there from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. every Sunday until next spring. (now 8 hours difference)
