27 27 # Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and
28 28 # ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote
29 29 # suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST).
30 30 # I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome
31 31 # _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use

36 36 # Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style
37 37 # for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say
38 38 # "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a São Paulo businessman active in

40 40 # The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in
41 41 # Brazil. Let's say that "the Brasília time" is considered the
42 42 # "official time" because Brasília is the capital city.
43 43 # The other three time zones are called "Brasília time "minus one" or
44 44 # "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such
45 45 # name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time".

314 314 # time change. Perhaps because it now is part of a group of pages "Most
315 315 # important pages of 2008."
316 316 #
317 317 # You can use
318 318 # http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=8141&id=22834
319 319 # instead it seems. Or use "Buscador" from the main page of the San Luis
320 320 # government, and fill in "huso" and click OK, and you will get 3 pages
321 321 # from which the first one is identical to the above.
322 322
323 323 # From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
324 324 # I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that
325 325 # province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008
326 326 # (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
327 327 # 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
328 328 # (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
329 329 #
330 330 # So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
331 331 # Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
332 332 # America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
333 333 # history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
334 334 # (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
335 335 # back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
336 336 # mailed them personally and never got an answer).
337 337
338 338 # From Paul Eggert (2014-08-12):
339 339 # Unless otherwise specified, data entries are from Shanks & Pottenger through
340 340 # 1992, from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
341 341 # America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
342 342 # was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll
343 343 # keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
344 344 # other 5 subregions.
345 345
346 346 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
347 347 # Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
348 348 # decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
349 349 # to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...
350 350 #
351 351 # The press release is at
352 352 # http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102
353 353 # (I couldn't find the decree, but www.sanluis.gov.ar
354 354 # is the official page for the Province Government.)
355 355 #
356 356 # There's also a note in only one of the major national papers ...
357 357 # http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
358 358 #
359 359 # The press release says [quick and dirty translation]:
360 360 # ... announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
361 361 # inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
362 362 #
363 363 # Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
364 364 # during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
365 365 # in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
366 366
367 367 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
368 368 # ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
369 369 #
370 370 # The Law at
371 371 # http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
372 372 # is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
373 373 # October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
374 374 # complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
375 375 # ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
376 376 #
377 377 # This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
378 378 #
379 379 # IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
380 380 # Sunday of October and March.
381 381 #
382 382 # The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
383 383 # change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
384 384 # that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
385 385 #
386 386 # In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
387 387 # (October 11th) at 0:00.
388 388 #
389 389 # So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
390 390 # America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
391 391 #
392 392 # I'm enclosing a patch that does what I say... regretfully, the San Luis
393 393 # timezone must be called "WART/WARST" even when most of the time (like,
394 394 # right now) WARST == ART... that is, since last Sunday, all the country
395 395 # is using UTC-3, but in my patch, San Luis calls it "WARST" and the rest
396 396 # of the country calls it "ART".
397 397 # ...
398 398
399 399 # From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09):

409 409
410 410 # From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
411 411 # yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
412 412 # UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
413 413 # rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
414 414 # stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
415 415
416 416 # From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
417 417 # Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at UTC-4
418 418 # with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
419 419 # just say it's at UTC-3; see, for example,
420 420 # http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
421 421 # We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
422 422 # standard time, so let's do that here too. This does not change UTC
423 423 # offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations. One minor
424 424 # plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
425 425 # setting for time stamps past 2038.

619 619 # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
620 620 # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
621 621 # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
622 622 # The rule change lasted only part of the day;
623 623 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
624 624 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
625 625
626 626 # From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
627 627 # _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
628 628 # Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
629 629 # Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO),
630 630 # Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
631 631 # [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
632 632
633 633 # From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
634 634 # Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other
635 635 # sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
636 636 # always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
637 637 # The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
638 638 # 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
639 639 # along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
640 640 # (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
641 641 # UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
642 642 # UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
643 643 # become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
644 644 # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
645 645 # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
646 646 # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
647 647 # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
648 648 # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE),
649 649 # Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do
650 650 # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

660 660 # From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
661 661 # The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
662 662 #
663 663 # Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
664 664 # the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
665 665 # round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
666 666 # Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
667 667 # counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
668 668 # round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
669 669 # take place on October 27th.
670 670 #
671 671 # The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
672 672 # of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
673 673 # Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
674 674 # the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
675 675 # (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
676 676
677 677 # From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
678 678 # It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
679 679 # modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
680 680 # with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
681 681

685 685
686 686 # From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
687 687 # ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
688 688 # Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
689 689 # effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
690 690 #
691 691 # a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the
692 692 # part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
693 693 # timezone UTC+4
694 694 # b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
695 695 # part of it, as was before.
696 696 #
697 697 # This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
698 698 # proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
699 699 # programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
700 700 # UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
701 701 # were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
702 702 # change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
703 703 # 1913.

708 708 #
709 709 # As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
710 710 # timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
711 711 # be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I
712 712 # suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
713 713 # important/populated city in the affected area.
714 714 #
715 715 # This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
716 716 # the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.

734 734 # it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on

1350 1357 # From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
1351 1358 #
1352 1359 # I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
1353 1360 # time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
1354 1361 # what was said then:
1355 1362 #
1356 1363 # "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
1357 1364 # did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
1358 1365 # started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
1359 1366 # There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
1360 1367 # personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
1361 1368 # uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
1362 1369 # it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
1363 1370 # and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
1364 1371 # is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
1365 1372 # as UK or Chile."
1366 1373 #
1367 1374 # I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
1368 1375 # 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
1369 1376 # not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
1370 1377 #
1371 1378 # Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
1372 1379 # Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
1373 1380 # that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
1374 1381 # West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
1375 1382 # DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
1376 1383 # it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
1377 1384 #
1378 1385 # I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
1379 1386 # which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
1380 1387 # the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
1381 1388 # customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
1382 1389
1383 1390 # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
