SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Daylight Saving Time is over for Michiana; find out how much daylight we will be losing in the month of November.
We are seeing that sunrise a little earlier, but we sadly do have the tradeoff of the sunset happening significantly earlier.
With the earlier sunset, we won’t see a sunset in the 6 o’clock hour again until February, it feels like we’re losing a lot of daylight.
Turns out, we lost more daylight in October than we will in November, with around 70 minutes lost last month, but 50 minutes lost this month.
Of course, overall, we’re losing two hours over those months, and you can already feel it.
Those daytime lows across Michiana likely being felt as you’re stepping out the door, but thankfully the sun comes up it warms us up, but not as much as it does in the summer or even the spring.
Of course, the sun is one of the biggest drivers of weather across the world, but when we see less sunlight in the fall and winter months, it does quite a number when we feel those daytime highs.
Now the coldest point of the morning is usually around the same time no matter the season, right before the sun rises, but with the sun setting significantly earlier now, we’re going to be feeling our warmest earlier too.
In the beginning of May earlier this year, the daytime high was reached around 7-8 p.m. thanks to a significantly longer time that the sun was out, but now highs are reached around 3-4 p.m.
Remember that the temperatures start to fall even when the sun is still out in these colder months, so as we all know that jacket is imperative to keep around heading out and about all day.
