Daylight saving time (DST) is a practice of advancing clocks during warmer months so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less. New Orleans, Louisiana, observes DST along with most of the United States. The city switches to DST on the second Sunday of March and back to standard time on the first Sunday of November.
DST provides several benefits to New Orleans residents. It can reduce energy consumption by decreasing the need for artificial lighting in the evenings. It can also improve public safety by making it easier to see at night. Additionally, DST can boost the local economy by encouraging people to spend more time outdoors and patronize businesses that are open later in the evening.
