Sunrise arrives later each morning and sunset comes markedly earlier, with the total daylight loss accelerating through mid-month before easing slightly. Where daylight saving time ends in October, the clock change shifts an hour of evening light to the morning. Civil twilight contracts, and by month's end, darkness arrives early enough to reshape daily routines.
