# This file is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,

|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2016-12-05):
|
|
#
|
|
# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
|
|
# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
|
|
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
|
|
# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
|
|
#
|
|
# Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
|
|
# for time zone data was the International Air Transport
|
|
# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
|
|
# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
|
|
# of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,
|
|
# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
|
|
#
|
|
# For data circa 1899, a common source is:
|
|
# Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.

|
# These tables use numeric abbreviations like -03 and -0330 for
|
|
# integer hour and minute UT offsets. Although earlier editions used
|
|
# alphabetic time zone abbreviations, these abbreviations were
|
|
# invented and did not reflect common practice.

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

|
|
# "The time change in Tierra del Fuego was a conflicted decision from

|
# effect on June 1, but a normative error forced the new time to begin

# three days earlier, from a Saturday to a Sunday....

|
# Our understanding was that the change was originally scheduled to take place

|
# on June 1 at 00:00 in Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego (and some other

# provinces). Sunday was May 30, only two days earlier. So the article

# contains a contradiction. I would give more credence to the Saturday/Sunday

|
|
#
|
|
# The change is supposed to take place Monday the 21st at 0:00

# 1990 and 1991 which has not been confirmed).

# From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-25):

# I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that

# (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back

# 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
|

# (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
|
|
#
|
|
# So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San

|
# Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be

|
# America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's

# history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(

# (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis

# Unless otherwise specified, data entries are from Shanks & Pottenger through

# America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which

# ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
|
|
#
|
|
# The Law at
|
|
# http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
|
|
# is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
|
|
# October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
|
|
# complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
|
|
# ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
|
|
#
|
|
# This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
|
|
#
|
|
# IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
|
|
# Sunday of October and March.
|
|
#
|
|
# The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
|
|
# change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
|
|
# that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
|
|
#
|
|
# In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
|
|
# (October 11th) at 0:00.
|
|
#
|
|
# So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
|
|
# America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
|
|
# ...
|
|
|
|
# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09):
|
|
# According to news reports from El Diario de la República Province San
|
|
# Luis, Argentina (standard time UTC-04) will keep Daylight Saving Time
|
|
# after April 11, 2010 - will continue to have same time as rest of
|
|
# Argentina (UTC-3) (no DST).

|
|
|
|
# From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
|
|
# yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
|
|
# UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
|
|
# rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
|
|
# stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2018-01-23):
|
|
# Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at -04
|
|
# with perpetual daylight saving time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
|
|
# just say it's at -03; see, for example,
|
|
# https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora_oficial_argentina
|
|
# We've documented similar situations as being plain changes to
|
|
# standard time, so let's do that here too. This does not change UTC
|
|
# offsets, only tm_isdst and the time zone abbreviations. One minor
|
|
# plus is that this silences a zic complaint that there's no POSIX TZ
|
|
# setting for timestamps past 2038.

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

# Brazilian official page <http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html>
|

# [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:]

# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm
|
|
# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm
|
|
|
|
# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
|
|
# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
|
|
#
|
|
# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
|
|
# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
|
|
# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
|
|
# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
|
|
# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
|
|
# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
|
|
# take place on October 27th.
|
|
#
|
|
# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
|
|
# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
|
|
# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
|
|
# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
|
|
# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
|
|
|
|
# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
|
|
# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
|
|
# modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
|
|
# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
|
|
|
|
# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
|
|
# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:

|
|
|
# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
|
|
# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
|
|
# Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
|
|
# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
|
|
#
|
|
# a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the
|
|
# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
|
|
# timezone UTC+4
|
|
# b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
|
|
# part of it, as was before.
|
|
#
|
|
# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
|
|
# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
|
|
# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
|
|
# UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
|
|
# were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
|
|
# change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
|
|
# 1913.
|
|
|
|
# From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24):
|
|
# Just correcting the URL:
|
|
# https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008
|
|
#
|
|
# As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
|
|
# timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
|
|
# be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I
|
|
# suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
|
|
# important/populated city in the affected area.
|
|
#
|
|
# This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
|
|
# the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.
|
|
|
|
# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-06-24):
|
|
# This is a quick reference page for New and Old Brazil Time Zones map.
|
|
# http://www.worldtimezone.com/brazil-time-new-old.php
|
|
#
|
|
# - 4 time zones replaced by 3 time zones - eliminating time zone UTC-05
|
|
# (state Acre and the part of the Amazonas will be UTC/GMT-04) - western
|
|
# part of Par state is moving to one timezone UTC-03 (from UTC-04).

# As announced by the government and many newspapers in Brazil late
|
|
# yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and
|
|
# it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on
|
|
# past years experience with the elections, there was a good chance that
|
|
# the start was postponed to November, but it did not happen this year.

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

|
|
# [1] needs several corrections, though.
|
|
#
|
|
# The first set of corrections is from:
|
|
# [2] History of the Official Time of Chile
|

# http://www.horaoficial.cl/ing/horaof_ing.html (retrieved 2012-03-06). See:

|
# A fancier Spanish version (requiring mouse-clicking) is at:
|
|
# http://www.horaoficial.cl/historia_hora.html
|
|
# Conflicts between [1] and [2] were resolved as follows:
|
|
#
|
|
# - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites
|
|
# Boletín No. 1, Aviso No. 1 (1910). Go with [2].
|
|
#
|
|
# - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
|
|
# 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National
|
|
# Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now
|
|
# Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [2], rounding it to -4:42:46.
|
|
#
|
|
# - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites
|
|
# Boletín No. 22, Aviso No. 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2].
|
|
#
|
|
# - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur
|
|
# at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However,
|
|
# go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
|
|
#
|
|
# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
|
|
# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
|
|
# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66
|
|
# says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at
|
|
# 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16
|
|
# respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too."
|
|
#
|
|
# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks &
|
|
# Pottenger. After that, for lack of better info assume
|
|
# Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago;
|
|
# this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and
|
|
# may well be true for earlier transitions.
|
|
|
|
# From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):
|
|
# The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
|
|
# of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
|
|
# (1998-09-29):
|
|
# Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into
|
|
# DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ...
|
|
# (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess).
|
|
|
|
# From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18):
|
|
# Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later,

|
# on April 3, (one-time change).
|
|
|
|
# From Germán Poo-Caamaño (2008-03-03):
|
|
# Due to drought, Chile extends Daylight Time in three weeks. This

|
# and Saturday 3/29 at 22:00 for Pacific/Easter)

# 6. For the year 2012, the dates of entry into winter time will be as follows:

|
# a. Saturday April 28, 2012, clocks should go back 60 minutes; that is, at

|
# 23:59:59, instead of passing to 0:00, the time should be adjusted to be 23:00

# From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
|
|
#
|
|
# I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
|
|
# time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
|
|
# what was said then:
|
|
#
|
|
# "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
|
|
# did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
|
|
# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
|
|
# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
|
|
# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
|
|
# uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
|
|
# it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
|
|
# and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
|
|
# is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
|
|
# as UK or Chile."
|
|
#
|
|
# I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
|
|
# 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
|
|
# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
|
|
#
|
|
# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
|
|
# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
|
|
# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
|
|
# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
|
|
# DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
|
|
# it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
|
|
#
|
|
# I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
|
|
# which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
|
|
# the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
|
|
# customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
|
|
# For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no
|
|
# better info.
|
|
|
|
# From Steffen Thorsen (2011-04-01):
|
|
# The Falkland Islands will not turn back clocks this winter, but stay on
|
|
# daylight saving time.

# We have gotten this confirmed by a clerk of the legislative assembly:

# Normally the clocks revert to Local Mean Time (UTC/GMT -4 hours) on the

|

# The current Atlantic/Stanley entry under South America expects the

# clocks to go back to standard Falklands Time (FKT) on the 15th April.
|
|
# The database entry states that in 2011 Stanley was staying on fixed

# Ley No. 3920 of 1908-06-10 placed the determination of legal time under the

# auspices of the National Institute for the Prediction of Time. It is unclear
|
|
# exactly what offset was used during this period, though Ley No. 7200 of
|
|
# 1920-04-23 used the Observatory of the National Meteorological Institute in

|
# Montevideo (34° 54' 33" S, 56° 12' 45" W) as its reference meridian,
|
|
# retarding legal time by 15 minutes 9 seconds from 1920-04-30 24:00,

# page 725 of the Proceedings of the Second Pan-American Scientific Congress,

#
|
|
# It appears Ley No. 9122 of 1933 was never published as such in the Diario
|
|
# Oficial, but instead appeared as Document 26 in the Diario on Friday
|
|
# 1933-10-27 as a decree made Monday 1933-10-23 and filed under the Ministry of
|
|
# National Defense. It reinstituted a DST of 30 minutes (to UT-03) "from the
|
|
# last Sunday of October...until the last Saturday of March." In accordance
|
|
# with this provision, the first transition was explicitly specified in Article
|
|
# 2 of the decree as Saturday 1933-10-28 at 24:00; that is, Sunday 1933-10-29
|
|
# at 00:00. Assume transitions at 00:00 Sunday throughout.
|
|
#
|
|
# Departing from the matter-of-fact nature of previous timekeeping laws, the
|
|
# 1933 decree "consider[s] the advantages of...the advance of legal time":
|
|
#
|
|
# "Whereas: The measure adopted by almost all nations at the time of the last
|
|
# World War still persists in North America and Europe, precisely because of
|
|
# the economic, hygienic, and social advantages derived from such an
|
|
# emergency measure...
|
|
#
|
|
# Whereas: The advance of the legal time during the summer seasons, by
|
|
# displacing social activity near sunrise, favors the citizen populations
|
|
# and especially the society that creates and works..."
|
|
#
|
|
# It further specified that "necessary measures" be taken to ensure that

|
# "public spectacles finish, in general, before [01:00]."

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

# updated simply to match the Almanaque 2018. Although the document does not
|
|
# list exact transition times, midnight transitions were already present in our

# data here for all transitions through 2004-09, and this is both consistent
|
|
# with prior transitions and verified in several decrees marked below between
|
|
# 1939-09 and 2004-09, wherein the relevant text was typically of the form:
|
|
#
|
|
# "From 0 hours on [date], the legal time of the entire Republic will be...

# In accordance with [the preceding], on [previous date] at 24 hours, all

# below, but it is buried in no fewer than 40 different decrees individually
