More precisely you can compare the timezone offset of January 1st to July 1st. If they are equal DST is not observed. If the January timezone offset is greater than July's the local machine is in the northern hemisphere. If the July timezone offset is greater than January's the local machine is in the southern hemisphere. Which helps a lot when you are ready to determine whether DST is in effect. Regards,
