The beginning of a new season means that it is time to ‘fall back’ as daylight saving time ends 2 a.m. Sunday.

Clocks will need to be set back an hour.

Daylight saving is observed in about 70 countries, including many in North America and Europe, according to USA Today.

In the article, it stated that the U.S. began daylight saving during World War I as a way to conserve fuel with the Standard Time Act of 1918.

Daylight saving will return Sunday, March 11, 2018.
