WORLD OF HOROLOGY +++++++++++++++++ With silly DST foisted upon most of the USA three weeks earlier than before, from March 11, it`s about time to check when other countries make the shift.
All this is from http://www.timeanddate.com/time/dst2007a.html and I suppose some of the dates are still subject to revision. Most notably, altho Canada is going along with US (except the part which never observes DST, Saskatchewan), Mexico is NOT but CUBA IS! Why in the world would Havana want to keep in step with Miami? Here is a summary of the upcoming change dates. The above site goes into more detail showing cities, and exact times of change. However, enclaves such as non-Navajo Arizona which do not observe DST are not singled out, and must be noted only by their absence from the list. The dates shown here are the local date when the change occurs, usually at local midnight to two hours later, in some cases actually the previous date by UT, in areas such as eastern Russia, Australia, NZ, and other points east of Western Europe. DAYLIGHT SHIFTING STARTS: 11 MARCH: Cuba, Canada [6 zones], USA [6 zones including Alaska] 25 MARCH: all of Russia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Lebanon, Turkey, Europe [almost all?], Azores, Greenland 29 MARCH: Jordan 31 MARCH: Israel 1 APRIL: Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Haiti, Mexico [3 zones but not all?] 27 APRIL: Egypt 6 MAY : Honduras DAYLIGHT SHIFTING ENDS: 11 MARCH: Chile, Easter Island, Paraguay, Uruguay 17 MARCH: New Zealand, Chatham Islands 24 MARCH: Australia except NT, Qsld [3 zones + Lord Howe Island changing ½ hour] 1 APRIL: Namibia 15 APRIL: Falkland Islands (Glenn Hauser, DX LISTENING DIGEST) ____________________________________________________________________________________ 8:00? 8:25? 8:40?
