Daylight Saving Time (DST), a.k.a. Summer Time, is always observed in summer. Most countries that do DST advance their clocks in the spring, usually March or April in the northern hemisphere and September or October in the Southern Hemisphere, then turn their clocks back in the fall, usually September or October in the northern hemisphere and March or April in the southern hemisphere. The United States extended their DST beginning in 2007 so that it lasts 65% of the year, beginning in late winter and ending in early November. Several other North American and Atlantic Ocean countries followed their lead.
The nation of Georgia has not observed DST since 2004.
