When the clocks turn back one hour early Sunday, it’s not a Halloween trick.
Daylight saving time officially ends at 2 a.m. Sunday, marking the return to standard time and earlier sunrises and sunsets.
While there was some progress made in July for the proposed federal Sunshine Protection Act, which would make daylight saving time permanent across the nation, the clocks will still change this weekend.
American Red Cross and fire officials recommend checking the batteries in carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors during this time change.
Remember to check that the switch is set to the correct time on items such as clocks, vehicles and ovens.
Daylight saving time will begin again at 2 a.m. March 14.
On Sunday, the sunrise in Santa Barbara is expected at 6:19 a.m. and the sunset at 5:05 p.m., according to an online calculator.
On Monday, the sunrise in Santa Barbara will be at 6:20 a.m. and the sunset at 5:04 p.m.
