30 30 # I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome

36 36 # Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style

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".

313 309 # Unfortunately the below page has become defunct, about the San Luis
314 310 # time change. Perhaps because it now is part of a group of pages "Most
315 311 # important pages of 2008."
316 312 #
317 313 # You can use
318 314 # http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=8141&id=22834
319 315 # instead it seems. Or use "Buscador" from the main page of the San Luis
320 316 # government, and fill in "huso" and click OK, and you will get 3 pages
321 317 # from which the first one is identical to the above.
322 318
323 319 # From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
324 320 # I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that
325 321 # province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008
326 322 # (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
327 323 # 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
328 324 # (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
329 325 #
330 326 # So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
331 327 # Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
332 328 # America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
333 329 # history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
334 330 # (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
335 331 # back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
336 332 # mailed them personally and never got an answer).
337 333
338 334 # From Paul Eggert (2014-08-12):
339 335 # Unless otherwise specified, data entries are from Shanks & Pottenger through
340 336 # 1992, from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
341 337 # America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
342 338 # was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll
343 339 # keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
344 340 # other 5 subregions.
345 341
346 342 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
347 343 # Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
348 344 # decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
349 345 # to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...
350 346 #
351 347 # The press release is at
352 348 # http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102
353 349 # (I couldn't find the decree, but www.sanluis.gov.ar
354 350 # is the official page for the Province Government.)
355 351 #
356 352 # There's also a note in only one of the major national papers ...
357 353 # http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
358 354 #
359 355 # The press release says [quick and dirty translation]:
360 356 # ... announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
361 357 # inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
362 358 #
363 359 # Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
364 360 # during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
365 361 # in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
366 362
367 363 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
368 364 # ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
369 365 #
370 366 # The Law at
371 367 # http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
372 368 # is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
373 369 # October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
374 370 # complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
375 371 # ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
376 372 #
377 373 # This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
378 374 #
379 375 # IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
380 376 # Sunday of October and March.
381 377 #
382 378 # The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
383 379 # change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
384 380 # that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
385 381 #
386 382 # In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
387 383 # (October 11th) at 0:00.
388 384 #
389 385 # So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
390 386 # America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
391 387 #
392 388 # I'm enclosing a patch that does what I say... regretfully, the San Luis
393 389 # timezone must be called "WART/WARST" even when most of the time (like,
394 390 # right now) WARST == ART... that is, since last Sunday, all the country
395 391 # is using UTC-3, but in my patch, San Luis calls it "WARST" and the rest
396 392 # of the country calls it "ART".
397 393 # ...
398 394
399 395 # From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09):
400 396 # According to news reports from El Diario de la República Province San
401 397 # Luis, Argentina (standard time UTC-04) will keep Daylight Saving Time
402 398 # after April 11, 2010 - will continue to have same time as rest of

409 405
410 406 # From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
411 407 # yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
412 408 # UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
413 409 # rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
414 410 # stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
415 411
416 412 # From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
417 413 # Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at UTC-4
418 414 # with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
419 415 # just say it's at UTC-3; see, for example,
420 416 # http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
421 417 # We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
422 418 # standard time, so let's do that here too. This does not change UTC
423 419 # offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations. One minor
424 420 # plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
425 421 # setting for time stamps past 2038.

619 615 # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
620 616 # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
621 617 # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
622 618 # The rule change lasted only part of the day;
623 619 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
624 620 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
625 621
626 622 # From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
627 623 # _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),

629 625 # Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO),

631 627 # [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
632 628
633 629 # From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
634 630 # Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other
635 631 # sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
636 632 # always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
637 633 # The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
638 634 # 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
639 635 # along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
640 636 # (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
641 637 # UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
642 638 # UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
643 639 # become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
644 640 # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
645 641 # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
646 642 # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
647 643 # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
648 644 # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE),
649 645 # Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do
650 646 # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.

659 655
660 656 # From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
661 657 # The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
662 658 #
663 659 # Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
664 660 # the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
665 661 # round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
666 662 # Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
667 663 # counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
668 664 # round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
669 665 # take place on October 27th.
670 666 #
671 667 # The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
672 668 # of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
673 669 # Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
674 670 # the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
675 671 # (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
676 672
677 673 # From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
678 674 # It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
679 675 # modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
680 676 # with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
681 677

686 682 # From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
687 683 # ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
688 684 # Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
689 685 # effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
690 686 #
691 687 # a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the
692 688 # part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
693 689 # timezone UTC+4
694 690 # b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
695 691 # part of it, as was before.
696 692 #
697 693 # This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
698 694 # proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
699 695 # programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
700 696 # UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
701 697 # were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
702 698 # change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
703 699 # 1913.

708 704 #
709 705 # As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
710 706 # timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
711 707 # be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I
712 708 # suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
713 709 # important/populated city in the affected area.
714 710 #
715 711 # This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
716 712 # the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.

1100 1096
1097 +# From Paul Eggert (2015-04-03):
1098 +# Shanks & Pottenger says America/Santiago introduced standard time in
1099 +# 1890 and rounds its UTC offset to 70W40; guess that in practice this
1100 +# was the same offset as in 1916-1919. It also says Pacific/Easter
1101 +# standardized on 109W22 in 1890; assume this didn't change the clocks.
1102 +#
1103 +# Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
1104 +# the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):
1105 +# [1] Chile Law

1110 +# [1] needs several corrections, though.
1111 +#
1112 +# The first set of corrections is from:
1113 +# [2] History of the Official Time of Chile
1114 +# http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html (retrieved 2012-03-06). See:

1119 +# A fancier Spanish version (requiring mouse-clicking) is at:
1120 +# http://www.horaoficial.cl/historia_hora.html
1121 +# Conflicts between [1] and [2] were resolved as follows:
1122 +#
1123 +# - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites
1124 +# Boletín No. 1, Aviso No. 1 (1910). Go with [2].
1125 +#
1126 +# - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
1127 +# 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National
1128 +# Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now
1129 +# Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [2], rounding it to -4:42:46.
1130 +#
1131 +# - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites
1132 +# Boletín No. 22, Aviso No. 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2].
1133 +#
1134 +# - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur
1135 +# at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However,
1136 +# go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
1137 +#
1138 +# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
1139 +# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
1140 +# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66

1145 +# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks &

1361 1386 # what was said then:
1362 1387 #
1363 1388 # "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
1364 1389 # did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
1365 1390 # started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
1366 1391 # There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
1367 1392 # personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
1368 1393 # uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
1369 1394 # it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
1370 1395 # and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
1371 1396 # is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
1372 1397 # as UK or Chile."
1373 1398 #
1374 1399 # I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
1375 1400 # 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
1376 1401 # not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
1377 1402 #
1378 1403 # Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
1379 1404 # Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
1380 1405 # that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
1381 1406 # West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
1382 1407 # DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
1383 1408 # it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
1384 1409 #
1385 1410 # I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
1386 1411 # which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
