11 # Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
12 # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
13 # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
14 # Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
15 #
16 # Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
17 # for time zone data was the International Air Transport
18 # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
19 # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
20 # of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted,
21 # IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
22 #
23 # For data circa 1899, a common source is:
24 # Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
25 # https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359
26 #
27 # These tables use numeric abbreviations like -03 and -0330 for
28 # integer hour and minute UT offsets. Although earlier editions used
29 # alphabetic time zone abbreviations, these abbreviations were
30 # invented and did not reflect common practice.

101 #
102 # From Fabián L. Arce Jofré (2000-04-04):
103 # The law that claimed DST for Argentina was derogated by President Fernando
104 # de la Rúa on March 2, 2000, because it would make people spend more energy
105 # in the winter time, rather than less. The change took effect on March 3.

226 # ... this weekend, the Province of Tucumán decided it'd go back to UTC-03:00

231 # http://www.lanacion.com.ar/04/06/10/de_609078.asp ...
232 # "The time change in Tierra del Fuego was a conflicted decision from
233 # the start. The government had decreed that the measure would take
234 # effect on June 1, but a normative error forced the new time to begin
235 # three days earlier, from a Saturday to a Sunday....
236 # Our understanding was that the change was originally scheduled to take place
237 # on June 1 at 00:00 in Chubut, Santa Cruz, Tierra del Fuego (and some other
238 # provinces). Sunday was May 30, only two days earlier. So the article
239 # contains a contradiction. I would give more credence to the Saturday/Sunday
240 # date than the "three days earlier" phrase, and conclude that Tierra del
241 # Fuego set its clocks back at 2004-05-30 00:00.

271 # From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-18):
272 # The page of the San Luis provincial government
273 # http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=0&id=22812
274 # confirms what Alex Krivenyshev has earlier sent to the tz
275 # emailing list about that San Luis plans to return to standard
276 # time much earlier than the rest of the country. It also
277 # confirms that upon request the provinces San Juan and Mendoza
278 # refused to follow San Luis in this change.
279 #
280 # The change is supposed to take place Monday the 21st at 0:00
281 # hours. As far as I understand it if this goes ahead, we need
282 # a new timezone for San Luis (although there are also documented
283 # independent changes in the southamerica file of San Luis in
284 # 1990 and 1991 which has not been confirmed).
286 # From Jesper Nørgaard Welen (2008-01-25):
287 # Unfortunately the below page has become defunct, about the San Luis
288 # time change. Perhaps because it now is part of a group of pages "Most
289 # important pages of 2008."
290 #
291 # You can use
292 # http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/notas.asp?idCanal=8141&id=22834
293 # instead it seems. Or use "Buscador" from the main page of the San Luis
294 # government, and fill in "huso" and click OK, and you will get 3 pages
295 # from which the first one is identical to the above.
297 # From Mariano Absatz (2008-01-28):
298 # I can confirm that the Province of San Luis (and so far only that
299 # province) decided to go back to UTC-3 effective midnight Jan 20th 2008
300 # (that is, Monday 21st at 0:00 is the time the clocks were delayed back
301 # 1 hour), and they intend to keep UTC-3 as their timezone all year round
302 # (that is, unless they change their mind any minute now).
303 #
304 # So we'll have to add yet another city to 'southamerica' (I think San
305 # Luis city is the mos populated city in the Province, so it'd be
306 # America/Argentina/San_Luis... of course I can't remember if San Luis's
307 # history of particular changes goes along with Mendoza or San Juan :-(
308 # (I only remember not being able to collect hard facts about San Luis
309 # back in 2004, when these provinces changed to UTC-4 for a few days, I
310 # mailed them personally and never got an answer).
312 # From Paul Eggert (2014-08-12):
313 # Unless otherwise specified, data entries are from Shanks & Pottenger through
314 # 1992, from the IATA otherwise. As noted below, Shanks & Pottenger say that
315 # America/Cordoba split into 6 subregions during 1991/1992, one of which
316 # was America/San_Luis, but we haven't verified this yet so for now we'll
317 # keep America/Cordoba a single region rather than splitting it into the
318 # other 5 subregions.
320 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-03-13):
321 # Yesterday (with our usual 2-day notice) the Province of San Luis
322 # decided that next Sunday instead of "staying" @utc-03:00 they will go
323 # to utc-04:00 until the second Saturday in October...
324 #
325 # The press release is at
326 # http://www.sanluis.gov.ar/SL/Paginas/NoticiaDetalle.asp?TemaId=1&InfoPrensaId=3102
327 # (I couldn't find the decree, but www.sanluis.gov.ar
328 # is the official page for the Province Government.)
329 #
330 # There's also a note in only one of the major national papers ...
331 # http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1107912
332 #
333 # The press release says [quick and dirty translation]:
334 # ... announced that next Sunday, at 00:00, Puntanos (the San Luis
335 # inhabitants) will have to turn back one hour their clocks
336 #
337 # Since then, San Luis will establish its own Province timezone. Thus,
338 # during 2009, this timezone change will run from 00:00 the third Sunday
339 # in March until 24:00 of the second Saturday in October.
341 # From Mariano Absatz (2009-10-16):
342 # ...the Province of San Luis is a case in itself.
343 #
344 # The Law at
345 # http://www.diputadossanluis.gov.ar/diputadosasp/paginas/verNorma.asp?NormaID=276
346 # is ambiguous because establishes a calendar from the 2nd Sunday in
347 # October at 0:00 thru the 2nd Saturday in March at 24:00 and the
348 # complement of that starting on the 2nd Sunday of March at 0:00 and
349 # ending on the 2nd Saturday of March at 24:00.
350 #
351 # This clearly breaks every time the 1st of March or October is a Sunday.
352 #
353 # IMHO, the "spirit of the Law" is to make the changes at 0:00 on the 2nd
354 # Sunday of October and March.
355 #
356 # The problem is that the changes in the rest of the Provinces that did
357 # change in 2007/2008, were made according to the Federal Law and Decrees
358 # that did so on the 3rd Sunday of October and March.
359 #
360 # In fact, San Luis actually switched from UTC-4 to UTC-3 last Sunday
361 # (October 11th) at 0:00.
362 #
363 # So I guess a new set of rules, besides "Arg", must be made and the last
364 # America/Argentina/San_Luis entries should change to use these...
365 # ...
367 # From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-04-09):
368 # According to news reports from El Diario de la República Province San
369 # Luis, Argentina (standard time UTC-04) will keep Daylight Saving Time
370 # after April 11, 2010 - will continue to have same time as rest of

378 # From Mariano Absatz (2010-04-12):
379 # yes...I can confirm this...and given that San Luis keeps calling
380 # UTC-03:00 "summer time", we should't just let San Luis go back to "Arg"
381 # rules...San Luis is still using "Western ARgentina Time" and it got
382 # stuck on Summer daylight savings time even though the summer is over.
384 # From Paul Eggert (2013-09-05):
385 # Perhaps San Luis operates on the legal fiction that it is at -04
386 # with perpetual summer time, but ordinary usage typically seems to
387 # just say it's at -03; see, for example,

585 # Brazil
587 # From Paul Eggert (1993-11-18):
588 # The mayor of Rio recently attempted to change the time zone rules
589 # just in his city, in order to leave more summer time for the tourist trade.
590 # The rule change lasted only part of the day;
591 # the federal government refused to follow the city's rules, and business
592 # was in a chaos, so the mayor backed down that afternoon.
594 # From IATA SSIM (1996-02):
595 # _Only_ the following states in BR1 observe DST: Rio Grande do Sul (RS),
596 # Santa Catarina (SC), Paraná (PR), São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ),
597 # Espírito Santo (ES), Minas Gerais (MG), Bahia (BA), Goiás (GO),
598 # Distrito Federal (DF), Tocantins (TO), Sergipe [SE] and Alagoas [AL].
599 # [The last three states are new to this issue of the IATA SSIM.]
601 # From Gwillim Law (1996-10-07):
602 # Geography, history (Tocantins was part of Goiás until 1989), and other
603 # sources of time zone information lead me to believe that AL, SE, and TO were
604 # always in BR1, and so the only change was whether or not they observed DST....
605 # The earliest issue of the SSIM I have is 2/91. Each issue from then until
606 # 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95,
607 # along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2
608 # (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is
609 # UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is
610 # UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's
611 # become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2
612 # has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West.
613 # However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline
614 # Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each
615 # airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that
616 # information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE),
617 # Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do
618 # Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST.
620 # From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27):
621 # Brazilian official page <http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html>
623 # From Jesper Nørgaard (2000-11-03):
624 # [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:]
625 # http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm
626 # http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm
628 # From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09):
629 # The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
630 #
631 # Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
632 # the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
633 # round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
634 # Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
635 # counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
636 # round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
637 # take place on October 27th.
638 #
639 # The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
640 # of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
641 # Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM,
642 # the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution
643 # (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)...
645 # From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04):
646 # It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly
647 # modern Brazilian eletronic voting machines which, apparently, can't deal
648 # with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections.
650 # From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20):
651 # Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00:

654 # From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24):
655 # ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario
656 # Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones,
657 # effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows:
658 #
659 # a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the
660 # part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the
661 # timezone UTC+4
662 # b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just
663 # part of it, as was before.
664 #
665 # This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that
666 # proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying
667 # programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone
668 # UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections
669 # were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This
670 # change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June,
671 # 1913.
673 # From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24):
674 # Just correcting the URL:
675 # https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008
676 #
677 # As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco
678 # timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall
679 # be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State. I
680 # suggest this new timezone be called Santarem as the most
681 # important/populated city in the affected area.
682 #
683 # This new timezone would be the same as the Rio_Branco timezone up to
684 # the 2008/06/24 change which would be to UTC-3 instead of UTC-4.
686 # From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-06-24):
687 # This is a quick reference page for New and Old Brazil Time Zones map.
688 # http://www.worldtimezone.com/brazil-time-new-old.php
689 #
690 # - 4 time zones replaced by 3 time zones - eliminating time zone UTC-05
691 # (state Acre and the part of the Amazonas will be UTC/GMT-04) - western
692 # part of Par state is moving to one timezone UTC-03 (from UTC-04).

695 # The official decrees referenced below are mostly taken from
696 # Decretos sobre o Horário de Verão no Brasil.
697 # http://pcdsh01.on.br/DecHV.html
699 # From Steffen Thorsen (2008-08-29):
700 # As announced by the government and many newspapers in Brazil late
701 # yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and
702 # it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on
703 # past years experience with the elections, there was a good chance that
704 # the start was postponed to November, but it did not happen this year.

1080 # Chile
1082 # From Paul Eggert (2015-04-03):
1083 # Shanks & Pottenger says America/Santiago introduced standard time in
1084 # 1890 and rounds its UT offset to 70W40; guess that in practice this
1085 # was the same offset as in 1916-1919. It also says Pacific/Easter
1086 # standardized on 109W22 in 1890; assume this didn't change the clocks.
1087 #
1088 # Dates for America/Santiago from 1910 to 2004 are primarily from
1089 # the following source, cited by Oscar van Vlijmen (2006-10-08):

1095 # [1] needs several corrections, though.
1096 #
1097 # The first set of corrections is from:

1104 # A fancier Spanish version (requiring mouse-clicking) is at:
1105 # http://www.horaoficial.cl/historia_hora.html
1106 # Conflicts between [1] and [2] were resolved as follows:
1107 #
1108 # - [1] says the 1910 transition was Jan 1, [2] says Jan 10 and cites
1109 # Boletín No. 1, Aviso No. 1 (1910). Go with [2].
1110 #
1111 # - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from
1112 # 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National
1113 # Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now
1114 # Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [2], rounding it to -4:42:46.
1115 #
1116 # - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites
1117 # Boletín No. 22, Aviso No. 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2].
1118 #
1119 # - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur
1120 # at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However,
1121 # go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition.
1122 #
1123 # Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who
1124 # wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in
1125 # the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66
1126 # says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at
1127 # 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16
1128 # respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too."
1129 #
1130 # Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks &
1131 # Pottenger. After that, for lack of better info assume
1132 # Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago;
1133 # this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and
1134 # may well be true for earlier transitions.
1136 # From Eduardo Krell (1995-10-19):
1137 # The law says to switch to DST at midnight [24:00] on the second SATURDAY
1138 # of October.... The law is the same for March and October.
1139 # (1998-09-29):
1140 # Because of the drought this year, the government decided to go into
1141 # DST earlier (saturday 9/26 at 24:00). This is a one-time change only ...
1142 # (unless there's another dry season next year, I guess).
1144 # From Julio I. Pacheco Troncoso (1999-03-18):
1145 # Because of the same drought, the government decided to end DST later,

1179 # 6. For the year 2012, the dates of entry into winter time will be as follows:

1416 # am on Sunday 21 April 2002 and advance to summer time at 2 am on
1417 # Sunday 1 September.
1419 # From Rives McDow (2001-02-13):
1420 #
1421 # I have communicated several times with people there, and the last
1422 # time I had communications that was helpful was in 1998. Here is
1423 # what was said then:
1424 #
1425 # "The general rule was that Stanley used daylight saving and the Camp
1426 # did not. However for various reasons many people in the Camp have
1427 # started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time')
1428 # There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of
1429 # personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who
1430 # uses it and who does not. Any list would be out of date as soon as
1431 # it was produced. This year daylight saving ended on April 18/19th
1432 # and started again on September 12/13th. I do not know what the rule
1433 # is, but can find out if you like. We do not change at the same time
1434 # as UK or Chile."
1435 #
1436 # I did have in my notes that the rule was "Second Saturday in Sep at
1437 # 0:00 until third Saturday in Apr at 0:00". I think that this does
1438 # not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true?
1439 #
1440 # Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the
1441 # Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there
1442 # that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of
1443 # West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes
1444 # DST. Again, as in other places in the world, the farmers don't like
1445 # it. West Falkland is almost entirely sheep farmers.
1446 #
1447 # I know one lady there that keeps a list of which farm keeps DST and
1448 # which doesn't each year. She runs a shop in Stanley, and says that
1449 # the list changes each year. She uses it to communicate to her
1450 # customers, catching them when they are home for lunch or dinner.
1452 # From Paul Eggert (2001-03-05):
1453 # For now, we'll just record the time in Stanley, since we have no
1454 # better info.
1456 # From Steffen Thorsen (2011-04-01):
1457 # The Falkland Islands will not turn back clocks this winter, but stay on
1458 # daylight saving time.
1459 #
1460 # One source:
1461 # http://www.falklandnews.com/public/story.cfm?get=5914&source=3
1462 #
1463 # We have gotten this confirmed by a clerk of the legislative assembly:
1464 # Normally the clocks revert to Local Mean Time (UTC/GMT -4 hours) on the
1465 # third Sunday of April at 0200hrs and advance to Summer Time (UTC/GMT -3
1466 # hours) on the first Sunday of September at 0200hrs.
1467 #
1468 # IMPORTANT NOTE: During 2011, on a trial basis, the Falkland Islands
1469 # will not revert to local mean time, but clocks will remain on Summer
1470 # time (UTC/GMT - 3 hours) throughout the whole of 2011. Any long term
1471 # change to local time following the trial period will be notified.
1472 #
1473 # From Andrew Newman (2012-02-24)
1474 # A letter from Justin McPhee, Chief Executive,
1475 # Cable & Wireless Falkland Islands (dated 2012-02-22)
1476 # states...
1477 # The current Atlantic/Stanley entry under South America expects the
1478 # clocks to go back to standard Falklands Time (FKT) on the 15th April.
1479 # The database entry states that in 2011 Stanley was staying on fixed
1480 # summer time on a trial basis only. FIG need to contact IANA and/or
1481 # the maintainers of the database to inform them we're adopting
1482 # the same policy this year and suggest recommendations for future years.
1483 #
1484 # For now we will assume permanent summer time for the Falklands
1485 # until advised differently (to apply for 2012 and beyond, after the 2011
1486 # experiment was apparently successful.)
