Current Time and Daylight Saving Time Transition in New York

As of Sunday, November 3, 2024, New York is currently observing Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), which is UTC-4 hours. However, a significant time change is imminent. At 2:00 AM on November 3, New York will transition from EDT to Eastern Standard Time (EST), which is UTC-5 hours. This change marks the end of Daylight Saving Time for the year 2024.

The time change will affect various aspects of daily life, including street closures and event timings. For instance, the TCS New York City Marathon, scheduled for November 3, will start with the wheelchair race at 8:00 AM EST, followed by professional runners at 8:35 AM EST, and subsequent waves of runners starting every 35 minutes thereafter.

For those planning to watch the marathon, local broadcasts will be available on WABC-TV Channel 7 starting at 8:00 AM EST, while ESPN2 will provide live coverage for viewers outside New York. The event can also be streamed via the ESPN app and website.

It is important to note that this time change will also impact travel and daily schedules, as clocks will need to be set back by one hour to reflect the transition to EST.
