32 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): |

33 # A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is |
|
34 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition), |
|
35 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003). |
|
36 # |
|
37 # Gwillim Law writes that a good source |
|
38 # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport |
|
39 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), |
|
40 # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries |
|
41 # of the IATA's data after 1990. |
|
42 # |
|
43 # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for |
|
44 # entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards. |
|
45 # |
|
46 # Earlier editions of these tables used the North American style (e.g. ARST and |
|
47 # ARDT for Argentine Standard and Daylight Time), but the following quote |
|
48 # suggests that it's better to use European style (e.g. ART and ARST). |
|
49 # I suggest the use of _Summer time_ instead of the more cumbersome |
|
50 # _daylight-saving time_. _Summer time_ seems to be in general use |
|
51 # in Europe and South America. |
|
52 # -- E O Cutler, _New York Times_ (1937-02-14), quoted in |
|
53 # H L Mencken, _The American Language: Supplement I_ (1960), p 466 |
|
54 # |
|
55 # Earlier editions of these tables also used the North American style |
|
56 # for time zones in Brazil, but this was incorrect, as Brazilians say |
|
57 # "summer time". Reinaldo Goulart, a Sao Paulo businessman active in |
|
58 # the railroad sector, writes (1999-07-06): |
|
59 # The subject of time zones is currently a matter of discussion/debate in |
|
60 # Brazil. Let's say that "the Brasilia time" is considered the |
|
61 # "official time" because Brasilia is the capital city. |
|
62 # The other three time zones are called "Brasilia time "minus one" or |
|
63 # "plus one" or "plus two". As far as I know there is no such |
|
64 # name/designation as "Eastern Time" or "Central Time". |
|
65 # So I invented the following (English-language) abbreviations for now. |

144 # The law that claimed DST for Argentina was derogated by President Fernando |

|
343 # </a> |
|
344 # confirms what Alex Krivenyshev has earlier sent to the tz |
|
345 # emailing list about that San Luis plans to return to standard |
|
346 # time much earlier than the rest of the country. It also |
|
347 # confirms that upon request the provinces San Juan and Mendoza |
|
348 # refused to follow San Luis in this change. |
|
349 # |
|
350 # The change is supposed to take place Monday the 21.st at 0:00 |
|
351 # hours. As far as I understand it if this goes ahead, we need |
|
352 # a new timezone for San Luis (although there are also documented |
|
353 # independent changes in the southamerica file of San Luis in |
|
354 # 1990 and 1991 which has not been confirmed). |
|
355 |
|
356 # From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2008-01-25): |
|
357 # Unfortunately the below page has become defunct, about the San Luis |
|
358 # time change. Perhaps because it now is part of a group of pages "Most |
|
359 # important pages of 2008." |
|
360 # |

365 # instead it seems. Or use "Buscador" from the main page of the San Luis |
|
366 # government, and fill in "huso" and click OK, and you will get 3 pages |
|
367 # from which the first one is identical to the above. |
|
368 |
|
369 # From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28): |
|
370 # I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that |
|
371 # province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008 |
|
372 # (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back |
|
373 # 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round |
|
374 # (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now). |
|
375 # |
|
376 # So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San |
|
377 # Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be |
|
378 # America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's |
|
379 # history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-( |
|
380 # (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis |
|
381 # back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I |
|
382 # mailed them personally and never got an answer). |
|
383 |
|
384 # From Paul Eggert (2008-06-30): |
|
385 # Unless otherwise specified, data are from Shanks & Pottenger through 1992, |
|
386 # from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that |
|
387 # America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which |
|
388 # was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll |
|
389 # keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the |
|
390 # other 5 subregions. |
|
391 |
|
392 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13): |
|
393 # Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis |
|
394 # decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go |
|
395 # to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October... |

414 # atrasar una hora sus relojes. |
|
415 # |
|
416 # A partir de entonces, San Luis establecerá el huso horario propio de |

420 # Quick&dirty translation |
|
421 # (...) announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis |
|
422 # inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks |
|
423 # |
|
424 # Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus, |
|
425 # during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday |
|
426 # in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October. |
|
427 |
|
428 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16): |

429 # ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself. |

|
435 # is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in |
|
436 # October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the |
|
437 # complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and |
|
438 # ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00. |
|
439 # |
|
440 # This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday. |
|
441 # |
|
442 # IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd |
|
443 # Sunday of October and March. |
|
444 # |
|
445 # The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did |
|
446 # change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees |
|
447 # that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March. |
|
448 # |
|
449 # In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday |
|
450 # (October 11th) at 0:00. |
|
451 # |
|
452 # So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last |
|
453 # America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these... |
|
454 # |
|
455 # I'm enclosing a patch that does what I say... regretfully, the San Luis |
|
456 # timezone must be called "WART/WARST" even when most of the time (like, |
|
457 # right now) WARST == ART... that is, since last Sunday, all the country |
|
458 # is using UTC-3, but in my patch, San Luis calls it "WARST" and the rest |
|
459 # of the country calls it "ART". |
|
460 # ... |
|
461 |
|
462 # From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09): |
|
463 # According to news reports from El Diario de la Republica Province San |

464 # Luis, Argentina (standard time UTC-04) will keep Daylight Saving Time |
|

|
478 # yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling |
|
479 # UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg" |
|
480 # rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got |

481 # stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over. |

|
674 # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18): |
|
675 # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules |
|
676 # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade. |
|
677 # The rule change lasted only part of the day; |
|
678 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business |
|
679 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon. |
|
680 |
|
681 # From IATA SSIM (1996-02): |
|
682 # _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS), |
|
683 # Santa Catarina (SC), Parana (PR), Sao Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ), |
|
684 # Espirito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goias (GO), |
|
685 # Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL]. |
|
686 # [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.] |
|
687 |
|
688 # From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07): |
|
689 # Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goias until 1989), and other |
|
690 # sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were |
|
691 # always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST.... |
|
692 # The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until |
|
693 # 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, |
|
694 # along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 |
|
695 # (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is |
|
696 # UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is |
|
697 # UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's |
|
698 # become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 |
|
699 # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. |
|
700 # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline |
|
701 # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each |
|
702 # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that |
|
703 # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapa (AP), Ceara (CE), |
|
704 # Maranhao (MA), Paraiba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piaui (PI), and Rio Grande do |
|
705 # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Para (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. |

716 |
|
717 # From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09): |
|
718 # The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. |
|
719 # |
|
720 # Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and |
|
721 # the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first |
|
722 # round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, |
|
723 # Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is |
|
724 # counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second |
|
725 # round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will |
|
726 # take place on October 27th. |
|
727 # |
|
728 # The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands |
|
729 # of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the |
|
730 # Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, |
|
731 # the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution |
|
732 # (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... |
|
733 |
|
734 # From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04): |
|
735 # It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly |
|
736 # modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal |
|
737 # with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections. |
|
738 |
|
739 # From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20): |

742 |
|
743 # From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24): |
|
744 # ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario |
|
745 # Oficial da Uniao"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones, |
|
746 # effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows: |
|
747 # |
|
748 # a) The timezone UTC+5 is e[x]tinguished, with all the Acre state and the |
|
749 # part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the |
|
750 # timezone UTC+4 |
|
751 # b) The whole Para state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just |
|
752 # part of it, as was before. |
|
753 # |
|
754 # This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that |
|
755 # proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying |
|
756 # programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone |
|
757 # UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections |
|
758 # were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This |
|
759 # change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June, |
|
760 # 1913. |
|

|
767 # |
|
768 # As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco |
|
769 # timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall |
|
770 # be created to represent the...west side of the Para State. I |
|
771 # suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most |
|
772 # important/populated city in the affected area. |
|
773 # |
|
774 # This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to |
|
775 # the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4. |

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

950 # because international television networks ignored Brazil's policy on DS, |
|
951 # they bought the wrong times on satellite for coverage of Pope's visit. |
|
952 # This year, the ending date of DS was postponed to March 1 |

|
1164 # of October.... The law is the same for March and October. |
|
1165 # (1998-09-29): |
|
1166 # Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into |
|
1167 # DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ... |

1170 # From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18): |

|
1180 # ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at 1990-09-15 |
|
1181 # (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16 respectively), but |

1263 # a. Saturday April 28, 2012, clocks should go back 60 minutes; that is, at |
|
1264 # 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be 23:00 |

1409 # |
|
1410 # I have communicated several times with people there, and the last |
|
1411 # time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is |
|
1412 # what was said then: |
|
1413 # |
|
1414 # "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp |
|
1415 # did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have |
|
1416 # started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time') |
|
1417 # There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of |
|
1418 # personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who |
|
1419 # uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as |
|
1420 # it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th |
|
1421 # and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule |
|
1422 # is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time |
|
1423 # as UK or Chile." |
|
1424 # |
|
1425 # I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at |
|
1426 # 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does |
|
1427 # not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true? |
|
1428 # |
|
1429 # Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the |
|
1430 # Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there |
|
1431 # that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of |
|
1432 # West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes |
|
1433 # DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like |
|
1434 # it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers. |
|
1435 # |
|
1436 # I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and |
|
1437 # which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that |
|
1438 # the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her |
|
1439 # customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner. |
|
1440 |
|
1441 # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05): |
|
1442 # For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no |
|
1443 # better info. |

1445 # From Steffen Thorsen (2011-04-01): |
