As if you needed another sign that summer has come to an end, Friday is the last day the sun will set at 7 p.m. or later.<\/p>\n
The sun sets at exactly 7 p.m. in Western Pennsylvania on October 2.<\/p>\n
The National Weather Service in Pittsburgh says the sun will continue to set 2.5 minutes of daylight every day through October.<\/p>\n
By October 31, the sun will be setting around 6:15 p.m., then the day after, we turn our clocks back.<\/p>\n
That means the sun will set around 5:15 p.m. beginning November 1.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re an early bird, you\u2019ll have more daylight in the morning.<\/p>\n
A bill to make Daylight Saving Time last all year long is currently in the Senate, but its fate is currently unknown.<\/p>\n
While Daylight Saving Time all year long would mean a later sunset, sunrise wouldn\u2019t be until after 8 a.m. or later, meaning kids would be waiting for the bus in darkness during cold winter months. <\/p>\n
After Friday, the sun won\u2019t set again after 7 p.m. until mid-March. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As if you needed another sign that summer has come to an end, Friday is the last day…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":298545,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[14039,73,75,74,3516,20386],"class_list":["post-298544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh","tag-daylight-saving-time","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-headlines","tag-pittsburgh-news","tag-sun","tag-sunset"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298544","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=298544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/298544\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/298545"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=298544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=298544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=298544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
