Clocks ‘fall back' in one week. Just how early will sunsets in the Chicago area get?

Clocks are scheduled to fall back in one week as Daylight saving time 2026 concludes. This transition occurs the day after Halloween, leading to earlier sunsets across the Chicago area. The shift affects the timing of evening light in Illinois, impacting the visibility of downtown landmarks like the 875 North Michigan Avenue skyscraper. Residents will experience a change in daily schedules as the region transitions away from the seasonal time adjustment in a few days.
