|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
|
|
# Howse writes (pp 121-125) that time zones were invented by
|
|
# Professor Charles Ferdinand Dowd (1825-1904),
|
|
# Principal of Temple Grove Ladies' Seminary (Saratoga Springs, NY).
|
|
# His pamphlet ``A System of National Time for Railroads'' (1870)
|
|
# was the result of his proposals at the Convention of Railroad Trunk Lines
|
|
# in New York City (1869-10). His 1870 proposal was based on Washington, DC,
|
|
# but in 1872-05 he moved the proposed origin to Greenwich.
|
|
# His proposal was adopted by the railroads on 1883-11-18 at 12:00,
|
|
# and the most of the country soon followed suit.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2005-04-16):
|
|
# That 1883 transition occurred at 12:00 new time, not at 12:00 old time.
|
|
# See p 46 of David Prerau, Seize the daylight, Thunder's Mouth Press (2005).
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
|
|
# A good source for time zone historical data in the US is
|
|
# Thomas G. Shanks, The American Atlas (5th edition),
|
|
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991).
|
|
# Make sure you have the errata sheet; the book is somewhat useless without it.
|
|
# It is the source for most of the pre-1991 US entries below.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
|
|
# Daylight Saving Time was first suggested as a joke by Benjamin Franklin
|
|
# in his whimsical essay ``An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost
|
|
# of Light'' published in the Journal de Paris (1784-04-26).
|
|
# Not everyone is happy with the results:
|
|
#
|
|
# I don't really care how time is reckoned so long as there is some
|
|
# agreement about it, but I object to being told that I am saving
|
|
# daylight when my reason tells me that I am doing nothing of the kind.
|
|
# I even object to the implication that I am wasting something
|
|
# valuable if I stay in bed after the sun has risen. As an admirer
|
|
# of moonlight I resent the bossy insistence of those who want to
|
|
# reduce my time for enjoying it. At the back of the Daylight Saving
|
|
# scheme I detect the bony, blue-fingered hand of Puritanism, eager
|
|
# to push people into bed earlier, and get them up earlier, to make
|
|
# them healthy, wealthy and wise in spite of themselves.
|

|
# Ten years of daylight saving from the Pittsburgh standpoint
|
|
# (Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, 1927)</a>.
|
|
#
|
|
# Shanks says that DST was called "War Time" in the US in 1918 and 1919.
|
|
# However, DST was imposed by the Standard Time Act of 1918, which
|
|
# was the first nationwide legal time standard, and apparently
|
|
# time was just called "Standard Time" or "Daylight Saving Time".
|
|
|
|
# From Arthur David Olson:
|
|
# US Daylight Saving Time ended on the last Sunday of *October* in 1974.
|
|
# See, for example, the front page of the Saturday, 1974-10-26
|
|
# and Sunday, 1974-10-27 editions of the Washington Post.
|
|
|
|
# From Arthur David Olson:
|
|
# Before the Uniform Time Act of 1966 took effect in 1967, observance of
|
|
# Daylight Saving Time in the US was by local option, except during wartime.
|
|
|
|
# From Arthur David Olson (2000-09-25):
|
|
# Last night I heard part of a rebroadcast of a 1945 Arch Oboler radio drama.
|
|
# In the introduction, Oboler spoke of "Eastern Peace Time."
|
|
# An AltaVista search turned up
|
|
# <a href="http://rowayton.org/rhs/hstaug45.html">:
|
|
# "When the time is announced over the radio now, it is 'Eastern Peace
|
|
# Time' instead of the old familiar 'Eastern War Time.' Peace is wonderful."
|
|
# </a> (August 1945) by way of confirmation.
|
|
|
|
# From Joseph Gallant citing
|
|
# George H. Douglas, _The Early Days of Radio Broadcasting_ (1987):
|
|
# At 7 P.M. (Eastern War Time) [on 1945-08-14], the networks were set
|
|
# to switch to London for Attlee's address, but the American people
|
|
# never got to hear his speech live. According to one press account,
|
|
# CBS' Bob Trout was first to announce the word of Japan's surrender,
|
|
# but a few seconds later, NBC, ABC and Mutual also flashed the word
|
|
# of surrender, all of whom interrupting the bells of Big Ben in
|
|
# London which were to precede Mr. Attlee's speech.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2003-02-09): It was Robert St John, not Bob Trout. From
|
|
# Myrna Oliver's obituary of St John on page B16 of today's Los Angeles Times:
|
|
#
|
|
# ... a war-weary U.S. clung to radios, awaiting word of Japan's surrender.
|
|
# Any announcement from Asia would reach St. John's New York newsroom on a
|
|
# wire service teletype machine, which had prescribed signals for major news.
|
|
# Associated Press, for example, would ring five bells before spewing out
|
|
# typed copy of an important story, and 10 bells for news "of transcendental
|
|
# importance."
|
|
#
|
|
# On Aug. 14, stalling while talking steadily into the NBC networks' open
|
|
# microphone, St. John heard five bells and waited only to hear a sixth bell,
|
|
# before announcing confidently: "Ladies and gentlemen, World War II is over.
|
|
# The Japanese have agreed to our surrender terms."
|
|
#
|
|
# He had scored a 20-second scoop on other broadcasters.
|
|
|
|
# From Arthur David Olson (2005-08-22):
|
|
# Paul has been careful to use the "US" rules only in those locations
|
|
# that are part of the United States; this reflects the real scope of
|
|
# U.S. government action. So even though the "US" rules have changed
|
|
# in the latest release, other countries won't be affected.

# Howse writes that Alaska switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,
|
|
# and from east-of-GMT to west-of-GMT days, when the US bought it from Russia.
|
|
# This was on 1867-10-18, a Friday; the previous day was 1867-10-06 Julian,
|
|
# also a Friday. Include only the time zone part of this transition,
|
|
# ignoring the switch from Julian to Gregorian, since we can't represent
|
|
# the Julian calendar.
|
|
#
|
|
# As far as we know, none of the exact locations mentioned below were
|
|
# permanently inhabited in 1867 by anyone using either calendar.
|
|
# (Yakutat was colonized by the Russians in 1799, but the settlement
|
|
# was destroyed in 1805 by a Yakutat-kon war party.) However, there
|
|
# were nearby inhabitants in some cases and for our purposes perhaps
|
|
# it's best to simply use the official transition.

# switched from -11:00 to -10:00 on 1968-09-22 at 02:00,

|

#

# From David Flater (2004-11-09):
|
|
# In e-mail, 2004-11-02, Ray Hudson, historian/liaison to the Unalaska
|
|
# Historic Preservation Commission, provided this information, which
|
|
# suggests that Unalaska deviated from statutory time from early 1967
|
|
# possibly until 1983:
|
|
#
|
|
# Minutes of the Unalaska City Council Meeting, January 10, 1967:
|
|
# "Except for St. Paul and Akutan, Unalaska is the only important
|
|
# location not on Alaska Standard Time. The following resolution was
|
|
# made by William Robinson and seconded by Henry Swanson: Be it
|
|
# resolved that the City of Unalaska hereby goes to Alaska Standard
|
|
# Time as of midnight Friday, January 13, 1967 (1 A.M. Saturday,
|
|
# January 14, Alaska Standard Time.) This resolution was passed with
|
|
# three votes for and one against."

#
|

# DST was observed for one day in 1933;

# standard time was changed by half an hour in 1947;

|
|
# Between 1944-01-01 and 1944-04-01 the State of Arizona used standard
|
|
# time, but by federal law railroads, airlines, bus lines, military
|
|
# personnel, and some engaged in interstate commerce continued to
|
|
# observe war (i.e., daylight saving) time. The 1944-03-17 Phoenix
|
|
# Gazette says that was the date the law changed, and that 04-01 was
|
|
# the date the state's clocks would change. In 1945 the State of
|
|
# Arizona used standard time all year, again with exceptions only as
|
|
# mandated by federal law. Arizona observed DST in 1967, but Arizona
|
|
# Laws 1968, ch. 183 (effective 1968-03-21) repealed DST.

|
|
#
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):
|
|
# Since 1970, most of Indiana has been like America/Indiana/Indianapolis,
|
|
# with the following exceptions:
|
|
#
|
|
# - Gibson, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, Porter, Posey, Spencer,
|
|
# Vandenburgh, and Warrick counties have been like America/Chicago.
|
|
#
|
|
# - Dearborn and Ohio counties have been like America/New_York.
|
|
#
|
|
# - Clark, Floyd, and Harrison counties have been like
|
|
# America/Kentucky/Louisville.
|
|
#
|
|
# - Crawford, Daviess, Dubois, Knox, Martin, Perry, Pike, Pulaski, Starke,
|
|
# and Switzerland counties have their own time zone histories as noted below.
|
|
#
|
|
# Shanks partitioned Indiana into 345 regions, each with its own time history,
|
|
# and wrote ``Even newspaper reports present contradictory information.''
|
|
# Those Hoosiers! Such a flighty and changeable people!
|
|
# Fortunately, most of the complexity occurred before our cutoff date of 1970.
|
|
#
|
|
# Other than Indianapolis, the Indiana place names are so nondescript
|
|
# that they would be ambiguous if we left them at the `America' level.
|
|
# So we reluctantly put them all in a subdirectory `America/Indiana'.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2005-08-16):

# http://www.mccsc.edu/time.html says that Indiana will use DST starting 2006.

|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2006-01-20):

# It says "DOT is relocating the time zone boundary in Indiana to move Starke,

# Pulaski, Knox, Daviess, Martin, Pike, Dubois, and Perry Counties from the

|
# this rule is 2:OO a.m. EST Sunday, April 2, 2006, which is the

|
# changeover date from standard time to Daylight Saving Time."
|
|
# Strictly speaking, this means the affected counties will change their

|
# clocks twice that night, but this obviously is in error. The intent
|

# is that 01:59:59 EST be followed by 02:00:00 CDT.

|
|
# Clinton County has joined Wayne County in asking the DoT to change from
|
|
# the Central to the Eastern time zone.... The Wayne County government made
|
|
# the same request in December. And while Russell County officials have not

|
# taken action, the majority of respondents to a poll conducted there in

|
# August indicated they would like to change to "fast time" also.
|
|
# The three Lake Cumberland counties are the farthest east of any U.S.
|
|
# location in the Central time zone.
|
|
#
|
|
# From Rich Wales (2000-08-29):
|
|
# After prolonged debate, and despite continuing deep differences of opinion,
|
|
# Wayne County (central Kentucky) is switching from Central (-0600) to Eastern
|
|
# (-0500) time. They won't "fall back" this year. See Sara Shipley,

|
|
#
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1999-03-31):
|
|
# Shanks writes that Michigan started using standard time on 1885-09-18,
|
|
# but Howse writes (pp 124-125, referring to Popular Astronomy, 1901-01)
|
|
# that Detroit kept
|
|
#
|
|
# local time until 1900 when the City Council decreed that clocks should
|
|
# be put back twenty-eight minutes to Central Standard Time. Half the
|
|
# city obeyed, half refused. After considerable debate, the decision
|
|
# was rescinded and the city reverted to Sun time. A derisive offer to
|
|
# erect a sundial in front of the city hall was referred to the
|
|
# Committee on Sewers. Then, in 1905, Central time was adopted
|
|
# by city vote.
|
|
#
|
|
# This story is too entertaining to be false, so go with Howse over Shanks.
|
|
#
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2001-03-06):
|
|
# Garland (1927) writes ``Cleveland and Detroit advanced their clocks

# one hour in 1914.'' This change is not in Shanks. We have no more

# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
|
|
# Shanks & Pottenger write that since 1970 most of Ontario has been like
|
|
# Toronto.
|
|
# Thunder Bay skipped DST in 1973.
|
|
# Many smaller locales did not observe peacetime DST until 1974;
|
|
# Nipigon (EST) and Rainy River (CST) are the largest that we know of.
|
|
# Far west Ontario is like Winnipeg; far east Quebec is like Halifax.
|
|
|
|
# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
|
|
# [According to the Toronto Star] Orillia, Ontario, adopted DST
|
|
# effective Saturday, 1912-06-22, 22:00; the article mentions that
|
|
# Port Arthur (now part of Thunder Bay, Ontario) as well as Moose Jaw
|
|
# have already done so. In Orillia DST was to run until Saturday,
|
|
# 1912-08-31 (no time mentioned), but it was met with considerable
|
|
# hostility from certain segments of the public, and was revoked after
|
|
# only two weeks -- I copied it as Saturday, 1912-07-07, 22:00, but
|
|
# presumably that should be -07-06. (1912-06-19, -07-12; also letters
|
|
# earlier in June).
|
|
#
|
|
# Kenora, Ontario, was to abandon DST on 1914-06-01 (-05-21).
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (1997-10-17):
|
|
# Mark Brader writes that an article in the 1997-10-14 Toronto Star
|
|
# says that Atikokan, Ontario currently does not observe DST,
|
|
# but will vote on 11-10 whether to use EST/EDT.
|
|
# He also writes that the
|
|
# <a href="http://www.gov.on.ca/MBS/english/publications/statregs/conttext.html">
|
|
# Ontario Time Act (1990, Chapter T.9)
|
|
# </a>
|
|
# says that Ontario east of 90W uses EST/EDT, and west of 90W uses CST/CDT.
|
|
# Officially Atikokan is therefore on CST/CDT, and most likely this report
|
|
# concerns a non-official time observed as a matter of local practice.
|
|
#
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2000-10-02):
|
|
# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Atikokan, Pickle Lake, and
|
|
# New Osnaburgh observe CST all year, that Big Trout Lake observes
|
|
# CST/CDT, and that Upsala and Shebandowan observe EST/EDT, all in
|
|
# violation of the official Ontario rules.
|
|
#
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-09):
|
|
# Chris Walton (2006-07-06) mentioned an article by Stephanie MacLellan in the
|
|
# 2005-07-21 Chronicle-Journal, which said:
|
|
#
|
|
# The clocks in Atikokan stay set on standard time year-round.
|
|
# This means they spend about half the time on central time and
|
|
# the other half on eastern time.
|
|
#
|
|
# For the most part, the system works, Mayor Dennis Brown said.
|
|
#
|
|
# "The majority of businesses in Atikokan deal more with Eastern
|
|
# Canada, but there are some that deal with Western Canada," he
|
|
# said. "I don't see any changes happening here."
|
|
#
|
|
# Walton also writes "Supposedly Pickle Lake and Mishkeegogamang
|
|
# [New Osnaburgh] follow the same practice."
|
|
|
|
# From Garry McKinnon (2006-07-14) via Chris Walton:
|
|
# I chatted with a member of my board who has an outstanding memory
|
|
# and a long history in Atikokan (and in the telecom industry) and he
|
|
# can say for certain that Atikokan has been practicing the current
|
|
# time keeping since 1952, at least.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2006-07-17):
|
|
# Shanks & Pottenger say that Atikokan has agreed with Rainy River
|
|
# ever since standard time was introduced, but the information from
|
|
# McKinnon sounds more authoritative. For now, assume that Atikokan
|
|
# switched to EST immediately after WWII era daylight saving time
|
|
# ended. This matches the old (less-populous) America/Coral_Harbour
|
|
# entry since our cutoff date of 1970, so we can move
|
|
# America/Coral_Harbour to the 'backward' file.

# Manitoba
|
|
|
|
# From Rob Douglas (2006-04-06):
|
|
# the old Manitoba Time Act - as amended by Bill 2, assented to
|
|
# March 27, 1987 ... said ...
|
|
# "between two o'clock Central Standard Time in the morning of
|
|
# the first Sunday of April of each year and two o'clock Central
|
|
# Standard Time in the morning of the last Sunday of October next
|
|
# following, one hour in advance of Central Standard Time."...
|
|
# I believe that the English legislation [of the old time act] had =
|
|
# been assented to (March 22, 1967)....
|
|
# Also, as far as I can tell, there was no order-in-council varying
|
|
# the time of Daylight Saving Time for 2005 and so the provisions of
|
|
# the 1987 version would apply - the changeover was at 2:00 Central
|
|
# Standard Time (i.e. not until 3:00 Central Daylight Time).
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2006-04-10):
|
|
# Shanks & Pottenger say Manitoba switched at 02:00 (not 02:00s)
|
|
# starting 1966. Since 02:00s is clearly correct for 1967 on, assume
|
|
# it was also 02:00s in 1966.

# Saskatchewan
|
|
|
|
# From Mark Brader (2003-07-26):
|
|
# The first actual adoption of DST in Canada was at the municipal
|
|
# level. As the [Toronto] Star put it (1912-06-07), "While people
|
|
# elsewhere have long been talking of legislation to save daylight,
|
|
# the city of Moose Jaw [Saskatchewan] has acted on its own hook."
|
|
# DST in Moose Jaw began on Saturday, 1912-06-01 (no time mentioned:
|
|
# presumably late evening, as below), and would run until "the end of
|
|
# the summer". The discrepancy between municipal time and railroad
|
|
# time was noted.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2003-07-27):
|
|
# Willett (1914-03) notes that DST "has been in operation ... in the
|
|
# City of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, for one year."
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
|
|
# Shanks & Pottenger say that since 1970 this region has mostly been as Regina.
|
|
# Some western towns (e.g. Swift Current) switched from MST/MDT to CST in 1972.
|
|
# Other western towns (e.g. Lloydminster) are like Edmonton.
|
|
# Matthews and Vincent (1998) write that Denare Beach and Creighton
|
|
# are like Winnipeg, in violation of Saskatchewan law.
|
|
|
|
# From W. Jones (1992-11-06):
|
|
# The. . .below is based on information I got from our law library, the
|
|
# provincial archives, and the provincial Community Services department.
|
|
# A precise history would require digging through newspaper archives, and
|
|
# since you didn't say what you wanted, I didn't bother.
|
|
#
|
|
# Saskatchewan is split by a time zone meridian (105W) and over the years
|
|
# the boundary became pretty ragged as communities near it reevaluated
|
|
# their affiliations in one direction or the other. In 1965 a provincial
|
|
# referendum favoured legislating common time practices.
|
|
#
|
|
# On 15 April 1966 the Time Act (c. T-14, Revised Statutes of
|
|
# Saskatchewan 1978) was proclaimed, and established that the eastern
|
|
# part of Saskatchewan would use CST year round, that districts in
|
|
# northwest Saskatchewan would by default follow CST but could opt to
|
|
# follow Mountain Time rules (thus 1 hour difference in the winter and
|
|
# zero in the summer), and that districts in southwest Saskatchewan would
|
|
# by default follow MT but could opt to follow CST.
|
|
#
|
|
# It took a few years for the dust to settle (I know one story of a town
|
|
# on one time zone having its school in another, such that a mom had to
|
|
# serve her family lunch in two shifts), but presently it seems that only
|
|
# a few towns on the border with Alberta (e.g. Lloydminster) follow MT
|
|
# rules any more; all other districts appear to have used CST year round
|
|
# since sometime in the 1960s.
|
|
|
|
# From Chris Walton (2006-06-26):
|
|
# The Saskatchewan time act which was last updated in 1996 is about 30 pages
|
|
# long and rather painful to read.

# ... the community of Resolute (located on Cornwallis Island in

# Today I phoned the "hamlet office" to find out what Resolute was doing with

|
|
#
|
|
# The individual that answered the phone confirmed that the clocks did not
|
|
# move at the end of daylight saving on October 29/2006. He also told me that
|
|
# the clocks did not move this past weekend (March 11/2007)....
|
|
#
|
|
# America/Resolute should use the "Canada" Rule up to October 29/2006.
|

# After that it should be fixed on Eastern Standard Time until further notice.

|
# (In all cases we go with the MLoC.)
|
|
# S&P report that Baja was at -8:00 in 1922/1923.
|
|
# S&P say the 1930 transition in Baja was 1930-11-16.
|
|
# S&P report no DST during summer 1931.
|

# S&P report a transition at 1932-03-30 23:00, not 1932-04-01.

# I finally got my hands on the Official Presidential Decree that sets up the

# rules for the DST changes. The rules are:
|
|
#
|
|
# 1. The country is divided in 3 timezones:
|
|
# - Baja California Norte (the Mexico/BajaNorte TZ)
|
|
# - Baja California Sur, Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora (the Mexico/BajaSur TZ)
|
|
# - The rest of the country (the Mexico/General TZ)
|
|
#
|
|
# 2. From the first Sunday in April at 2:00 AM to the last Sunday in October
|
|
# at 2:00 AM, the times in each zone are as follows:
|
|
# BajaNorte: GMT+7
|
|
# BajaSur: GMT+6
|
|
# General: GMT+5
|
|
#
|
|
# 3. The rest of the year, the times are as follows:
|
|
# BajaNorte: GMT+8
|
|
# BajaSur: GMT+7
|
|
# General: GMT+6
|
|

# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
|
|
# Formerly there was an America/Ensenada zone, which differed from
|
|
# America/Tijuana only in that it did not observe DST from 1976
|
|
# through 1995. This was as per Shanks (1999). But Shanks & Pottenger say
|
|
# Ensenada did not observe DST from 1948 through 1975. Guy Harris reports
|
|
# that the 1987 OAG says "Only Ensenada, Mexicale, San Felipe and
|
|
# Tijuana observe DST," which agrees with Shanks & Pottenger but implies that
|
|
# DST-observance was a town-by-town matter back then. This concerns
|
|
# data after 1970 so most likely there should be at least one Zone
|
|
# other than America/Tijuana for Baja, but it's not clear yet what its
|
|
# name or contents should be.

# The 1999-03-28 exhibition baseball game held in Havana, Cuba, between
|
|
# the Cuban National Team and the Baltimore Orioles was carried live on
|
|
# the Orioles Radio Network, including affiliate WTOP in Washington, DC.
|
|
# During the game, play-by-play announcer Jim Hunter noted that
|
|
# "We'll be losing two hours of sleep...Cuba switched to Daylight Saving
|
|
# Time today." (The "two hour" remark referred to losing one hour of
|
|
# sleep on 1999-03-28--when the announcers were in Cuba as it switched
|
|
# to DST--and one more hour on 1999-04-04--when the announcers will have
|
|
# returned to Baltimore, which switches on that date.)

# I'm in Maryland which is now observing United States Eastern Daylight

|
|
# <a href="http://media.enet.cu/radioreloj">

# </a>, a Cuban information station, and heard
|
|
# the time announced as "ocho cuarenta y cuatro" ("eight forty-four"),
|
|
# indicating that Cuba is still on standard time.
|
|
|
|
# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-03-12):
|
|
# It seems that Cuba will start DST on Sunday, 2007-03-16...
|
|
# It was announced yesterday, according to this source (in Spanish):

# <a href="http://www.nnc.cubaweb.cu/marzo-2008/cien-1-11-3-08.htm">

|
|
# </a>
|
|
#
|
|
# The article also says that Cuba has been observing DST since 1963,
|
|
# while Shanks (and tzdata) has 1965 as the first date (except in the
|
|
# 1940's). Many other web pages in Cuba also claim that it has been
|
|
# observed since 1963, but with the exception of 1970 - an exception
|
|
# which is not present in tzdata/Shanks. So there is a chance we need to
|

# change some historic records as well.

# Haiti
|
|
# From Gwillim Law (2005-04-15):

# Risto O. Nykanen wrote me that Haiti is now on DST.
|
|
# I searched for confirmation, and I found a
|
|
# <a href="http://www.haitianconsulate.org/time.doc"> press release
|
|
# on the Web page of the Haitian Consulate in Chicago (2005-03-31),
|
|
# </a>. Translated from French, it says:
|
|
#
|
|
# "The Prime Minister's Communication Office notifies the public in general
|
|
# and the press in particular that, following a decision of the Interior
|
|
# Ministry and the Territorial Collectivities [I suppose that means the
|
|
# provinces], Haiti will move to Eastern Daylight Time in the night from next
|
|
# Saturday the 2nd to Sunday the 3rd.
|
|
#
|
|
# "Consequently, the Prime Minister's Communication Office wishes to inform
|
|
# the population that the country's clocks will be set forward one hour
|
|
# starting at midnight. This provision will hold until the last Saturday in
|
|
# October 2005.
|
|
#
|
|
# "Port-au-Prince, March 31, 2005"
|
|
#
|
|
# From Steffen Thorsen (2006-04-04):
|
|
# I have been informed by users that Haiti observes DST this year like
|
|
# last year, so the current "only" rule for 2005 might be changed to a
|
|
# "max" rule or to last until 2006. (Who knows if they will observe DST
|
|
# next year or if they will extend their DST like US/Canada next year).
|
|
#

|
# I have found this article about it (in French):

# worldtimezone.com reports a 2006-05-02 Spanish-language AP article

# saying Honduras will start using DST midnight Saturday, effective 4

# months until September. La Tribuna reported today
|
|
# <http://www.latribuna.hn/99299.html> that Manuel Zelaya, the president
|
|
# of Honduras, refused to back down on this.
|
|
|
|
# From Jesper Norgaard Welen (2006-08-08):
|
|
# It seems that Honduras has returned from DST to standard time this Monday at

# 00:00 hours (prolonging Sunday to 25 hours duration).

# I've got reports from 8 different people that Nicaragua just started

|
# time that a change of clocks was applied to save energy was in the year 2000
|
|
# during the Arnoldo Aleman administration."...
|
|
# The northamerica file says that Nicaragua has been on UTC-6 continuously
|
|
# since December 1998. I wasn't able to find any details of Nicaraguan time

|
# changes in 2000. Perhaps a note could be added to the northamerica file, to
|
|
# the effect that we have indirect evidence that DST was observed in 2000.
