11 11 # Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
12 12 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
13 13 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
14 14 # Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
15 15 #
16 16 # Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
17 17 # for time zone data was the International Air Transport
18 18 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
19 19 # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
20 20 # of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,
21 21 # IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
22 22 #
23 23 # For data circa 1899, a common source is:
24 24 # Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
25 25 # https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359
26 26 #
27 27 # These tables use numeric abbreviations like -03 and -0330 for
28 28 # integer hour and minute UT offsets. Although earlier editions used
29 29 # alphabetic time zone abbreviations, these abbreviations were
30 30 # invented and did not reflect common practice.

297 299 # From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
298 300 # I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that
299 301 # province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008
300 302 # (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
301 303 # 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
302 304 # (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
303 305 #
304 306 # So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
305 307 # Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
306 308 # America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
307 309 # history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
308 310 # (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
309 311 # back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
310 312 # mailed them personally and never got an answer).
311 313
312 314 # From Paul Eggert (2014-08-12):
313 315 # Unless otherwise specified, data entries are from Shanks & Pottenger through
314 316 # 1992, from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
315 317 # America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
316 318 # was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll
317 319 # keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
318 320 # other 5 subregions.
319 321
320 322 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
321 323 # Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
322 324 # decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
323 325 # to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...
324 326 #
325 327 # The press release is at
326 328 # http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102
327 329 # (I couldn't find the decree, but www.sanluis.gov.ar
328 330 # is the official page for the Province Government.)
329 331 #
330 332 # There's also a note in only one of the major national papers ...
331 333 # http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
332 334 #
333 335 # The press release says [quick and dirty translation]:
334 336 # ... announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
335 337 # inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
336 338 #
337 339 # Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
338 340 # during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
339 341 # in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
340 342
341 343 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
342 344 # ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
343 345 #
344 346 # The Law at
345 347 # http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
346 348 # is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
347 349 # October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
348 350 # complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
349 351 # ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
350 352 #
351 353 # This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
352 354 #
353 355 # IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
354 356 # Sunday of October and March.
355 357 #
356 358 # The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
357 359 # change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
358 360 # that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
359 361 #
360 362 # In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
361 363 # (October 11th) at 0:00.
362 364 #
363 365 # So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
364 366 # America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
365 367 # ...
366 368
367 369 # From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09):
368 370 # According to news reports from El Diario de la República Province San
369 371 # Luis, Argentina (standard time UTC-04) will keep Daylight Saving Time
370 372 # after April 11, 2010 - will continue to have same time as rest of
371 373 # Argentina (UTC-3) (no DST).

587 586 # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
588 587 # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
589 588 # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
590 589 # The rule change lasted only part of the day;
591 590 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
592 591 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
593 592
594 593 # From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
595 594 # _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
596 595 # Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
597 596 # Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO),
598 597 # Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
599 598 # [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
600 599
601 600 # From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
602 601 # Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other
603 602 # sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
604 603 # always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
605 604 # The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
606 605 # 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
607 606 # along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
608 607 # (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
609 608 # UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
610 609 # UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
611 610 # become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
612 611 # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
613 612 # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
614 613 # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
615 614 # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
616 615 # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE),
617 616 # Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do
618 617 # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

628 627 # From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
629 628 # The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
630 629 #
631 630 # Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
632 631 # the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
633 632 # round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
634 633 # Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
635 634 # counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
636 635 # round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
637 636 # take place on October 27th.
638 637 #
639 638 # The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
640 639 # of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
641 640 # Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
642 641 # the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
643 642 # (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
644 643
645 644 # From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
646 645 # It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
647 646 # modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
648 647 # with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
649 648

653 652
654 653 # From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
655 654 # ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
656 655 # Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
657 656 # effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
658 657 #
659 658 # a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the
660 659 # part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
661 660 # timezone UTC+4
662 661 # b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
663 662 # part of it, as was before.
664 663 #
665 664 # This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
666 665 # proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
667 666 # programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
668 667 # UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
669 668 # were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
670 669 # change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
671 670 # 1913.
672 671

676 675 #
677 676 # As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
678 677 # timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
679 678 # be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I
680 679 # suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
681 680 # important/populated city in the affected area.
682 681 #
683 682 # This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
684 683 # the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.

702 701 # it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on

1108 1107 # - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites

1110 1109 #
1111 1110 # - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
1112 1111 # 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National

1121 1120 # go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
1122 1121 #
1123 1122 # Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
1124 1123 # wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
1125 1124 # the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66
1126 1125 # says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at

1419 1418 # From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
1420 1419 #
1421 1420 # I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
1422 1421 # time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
1423 1422 # what was said then:
1424 1423 #
1425 1424 # "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
1426 1425 # did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
1427 1426 # started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
1428 1427 # There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
1429 1428 # personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
1430 1429 # uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
1431 1430 # it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
1432 1431 # and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
1433 1432 # is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
1434 1433 # as UK or Chile."
1435 1434 #
1436 1435 # I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
1437 1436 # 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
1438 1437 # not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
1439 1438 #
1440 1439 # Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
1441 1440 # Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
1442 1441 # that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
1443 1442 # West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
1444 1443 # DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
1445 1444 # it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
1446 1445 #
1447 1446 # I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
1448 1447 # which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
1449 1448 # the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
1450 1449 # customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
1451 1450
1452 1451 # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):

1687 +# Page 36 of Almanaque 2018, published by the Oceanography, Hydrography, and
1688 +# Meteorology Service of the Uruguayan Navy, seems to give many transitions
1689 +# with greater clarity than we've had before. It directly references many laws
1690 +# and decrees which are, in turn, referenced below. They can be viewed in the

1693 +#
1694 +# Ley No. 3920 of 1908-06-10 placed the determination of legal time under the
1695 +# auspices of the National Institute for the Prediction of Time. It is unclear
1696 +# exactly what offset was used during this period, though Ley No. 7200 of
1697 +# 1920-04-23 used the Observatory of the National Meteorological Institute in
1698 +# Montevideo (34° 54' 33" S, 56° 12' 45" W) as its reference meridian,
1699 +# retarding legal time by 15 minutes 9 seconds from 1920-04-30 24:00,
1700 +# resulting in UT-04. Assume the corresponding LMT of UT-03:44:51 (given on
1701 +# page 725 of the Proceedings of the Second Pan-American Scientific Congress,
1702 +# 1915-1916) was in use, and merely became official from 1908-06-10.

1705 +#
1706 +# Ley No. 7594 of 1923-06-28 specified legal time as Observatory time advanced

1708 +# minutes 51 seconds (UT-03:30) "the rest of the year"; a message from the

1710 +# law in the Diario Oficial, specified the first transition to be 1923-09-30
1711 +# 24:00. This effectively established standard time at UT-03:30 with 30

1713 +# 7919 of 1926-03-05 ended this arrangement, repealing all "laws and other

1726 +#
1727 +# It appears Ley No. 9122 of 1933 was never published as such in the Diario
1728 +# Oficial, but instead appeared as Document 26 in the Diario on Friday
1729 +# 1933-10-27 as a decree made Monday 1933-10-23 and filed under the Ministry of
1730 +# National Defense. It reinstituted a DST of 30 minutes (to UT-03) "from the
1731 +# last Sunday of October...until the last Saturday of March." In accordance
1732 +# with this provision, the first transition was explicitly specified in Article
1733 +# 2 of the decree as Saturday 1933-10-28 at 24:00; that is, Sunday 1933-10-29
1734 +# at 00:00. Assume transitions at 00:00 Sunday throughout.
1735 +#
1736 +# Departing from the matter-of-fact nature of previous timekeeping laws, the

1738 +#
1739 +# "Whereas: The measure adopted by almost all nations at the time of the last

1741 +# the economic, hygienic, and social advantages derived from such an
1742 +# emergency measure...
1743 +#
1744 +# Whereas: The advance of the legal time during the summer seasons, by
1745 +# displacing social activity near sunrise, favors the citizen populations
1746 +# and especially the society that creates and works..."

1753 +# Most of the Rules below, and their contemporaneous Zone lines, have been

1755 +# list exact transition times, midnight transitions were already present in our

1757 +# with prior transitions and verified in several decrees marked below between
1758 +# 1939-09 and 2004-09, wherein the relevant text was typically of the form:
1759 +#
1760 +# "From 0 hours on [date], the legal time of the entire Republic will be...
