SAN DIEGO — Daylight saving time has come to an end for another year, nudging our clocks back an hour as the winter months approach.

While this gives us an “extra” hour to sleep initially, it also means that daylight hours will be shortened in the coming months.

For those who work late, the sun may start setting before you leave the job site. This could mean evening errands, workouts, and gatherings will have to be done in the dark.

Here’s a breakdown of sunset times in San Diego, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, as we look ahead to the first week after daylight saving time ends:

Explainer:

Civil Twilight refers to when the sun’s center is 6 degrees below the horizon.

Nautical Twilight refers to when the sun’s center is 12 degrees below the horizon.
