Michigan welcomes summer 2025. When will season, DST end?
Summer is here in Michigan with June 20 being the longest day of 2025.
As the season kicks off, let's take a look at the coming months in the mitten state, from when summer ends to how long the state will remain in Daylight Saving Time.
Here's what to know.
Summer solstice — the longest day of the year and the start of summer — is June 20, 2025.
In Detroit, sunrise is at 5:53 a.m. on June 20. Sunset is at 9:14 p.m. with 15 hours, 20 minutes of daylight, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
The summer solstice is when the Earth's northern hemisphere points most directly toward the sun, according to Earth Sky.
"At this solstice, the northern hemisphere is most tilted toward the sun, by the maximum angle of 23.5 degrees. Conversely, the south is most tilted away, by the same amount," Earth Sky said.
The moment when the Earth tilts most toward the sun is 10:42 p.m. June 20, 2025, according to the Farmers' Almanac.
Daylight Saving Time is when "daylight" begins an hour later in the morning and lasts an hour longer in the evening, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The clock change allows the hour of daylight to stay coordinated with the time most people are active outside. Daylight saving time is supposed to save energy, since during the warmer months the majority of people will be outside and not home, which saves energy.
Daylight Saving Time began at 2 a.m. on March 9, 2025.
While it is often referred to as Daylight Savings Time, Daylight Saving Time without the "s" at the end is the correct term.
The fall equinox — the end of summer and start of fall 2025 — will be Sept. 22, 2025, per the Old Farmer's Almanac. The equinox will occur at 2:19 p.m.
Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 2, the first Sunday of November.
