What Permanent Daylight Saving Time Would Look Like Across the U.S.
Other cities, meanwhile, would see an even later sunrise. In Dallas, the sunrise on Jan. 15 would be around 8:30 a.m. local time, while the sunset would be shortly after 6:40 p.m. local time, according to AccuWeather. In Indianapolis, locals wouldn’t see the sun until after 9 a.m. their time on Jan. 15, AccuWeather predicted.
And in Juneau, Alaska, the latest sunrise for residents would be after 11 a.m. local time in the winter months, with a sunset of around 4:40 p.m. local time, according to Nexstar’s estimates.
This isn’t the first time the U.S. government has tried to make Daylight Saving Time year-round: in 1974, the country observed permanent Daylight Saving Time—but only for a few months. The change proved to be widely unpopular because people were getting up and going to work and school in the dark, since the sunrise didn’t occur until later in the morning, and the clock changes were soon reintroduced.
