Daylight Savings in Mexico commences on the first Sunday in April (spring forward) and ends on the last Sunday in October (fall back).
On this day, Mexicans move the clock one hour ahead at 2 AM in April or one hour back in October at 2 AM on Sunday.
American Benjamin Franklin was the first to propose daylight savings time (DST) in 1784, and modern DST commenced in 1895. Throughout history, several variations of daylight savings ranged from 30 minutes to two hours.
Only some nations observe DST, which can make setting appointments very challenging. The primary purpose of DST is to make better use of daylight hours for farming, early morning activities (such as children walking to school in daylight rather than darkness), and saving energy.
The closer one lives to the north and south poles, the longer the period of daylight in the summer months.
