The shift to standard time in the USA will occur on November 3rd.

The Department of Energy (Sener) announced that daylight saving time for 2013 officially ends for most of México at 2 am on Sunday, October 27th (this weekend). That means everyone needs to set their clocks back one hour before retiring on Saturday night.

Since México did not go along with the changes that the United States made to established daylight savings time in 2007, it’s important to note that the shift to standard time in México will take place a week earlier than in the US, which will occur on November 3^rd.

Sener said that in economic terms, it is estimated that the implementation of Daylight Saving Time saves México 1.635 billion pesos ($126 million) a year.

Sener noted that “33 municipalities in the northern border zone follow the Daylight Savings schedule of the United States in order to facilitate the daily lives of local residents, who have to cross back and forth over the border every day for work or school.”
