Baja California Border Zone Begins Time Change Tomorrow
The Baja California Border Zone will observe a time change starting tomorrow. On November 2, 2025, municipalities including Tijuana, Rosarito, and Ensenada will set their clocks back by one hour. This adjustment supports synchronization with California and aligns with Mexico’s Time Use Law.
Winter Time Begins in Baja California
This change marks the beginning of winter time in the Baja California border region. While most of Mexico discontinued daylight saving time in 2022, the border area continues to implement this adjustment to match the Pacific Time Zone of the United States, particularly California.
Impact of Time Change
As a result of this adjustment:
- Morning activities will benefit from increased natural light.
- Sunset will occur earlier in the evening.
- Commercial operations and border crossings will be directly affected.
Coordination with U.S. Cities
Cities in the United States, such as San Diego and Los Angeles, will also make this time change on the same day. This step is in accordance with the established norm to end daylight saving time on the first Sunday of November.
Preparations for the Time Change
Authorities advise residents to prepare accordingly on Saturday night. Key recommendations include:
- Adjusting clocks and schedules.
- Checking transportation timetables.
- Updating electronic devices that do not do so automatically.
This time change allows residents a bonus hour of rest on the night of November 2. It also sets the stage for a gradual transition back to daylight saving time, which is expected to occur in March 2026.
