Each issue from then until 623# 9/95 says that DST is observed only in the ten states I quoted from 9/95, 624# along with Mato Grosso (MT) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), which are in BR2 625# (UTC-4).... The other two time zones given for Brazil are BR3, which is 626# UTC-5, no DST, and applies only in the state of Acre (AC); and BR4, which is 627# UTC-2, and applies to Fernando de Noronha (formerly FN, but I believe it's 628# become part of the state of Pernambuco). The boundary between BR1 and BR2 629# has never been clearly stated. They've simply been called East and West. 630# However, some conclusions can be drawn from another IATA manual: the Airline 631# Coding Directory, which lists close to 400 airports in Brazil. For each 632# airport it gives a time zone which is coded to the SSIM. From that 633# information, I'm led to conclude that the states of Amapá (AP), Ceará (CE), 634# Maranhão (MA), Paraíba (PR), Pernambuco (PE), Piauí (PI), and Rio Grande do 635# Norte (RN), and the eastern part of Pará (PA) are all in BR1 without DST. 636 637# From Marcos Tadeu (1998-09-27): 638# Brazilian official page <http://pcdsh01.on.br/verao1.html> 639 640# From Jesper Nørgaard (2000-11-03): 641# [For an official list of which regions in Brazil use which time zones, see:] 642# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm 643# http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbrhv.htm 644 645# From Celso Doria via David Madeo (2002-10-09): 646# The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil. 647# 648# Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and 649# the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first 650# round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President, 651# Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is 652# counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second 653# round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will 654# take place on October 27th. 655# 656# The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands 657# of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the 658# Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM, 659# the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the Constitution 660# (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change the clock)... 661 662# From Rodrigo Severo (2004-10-04): 663# It's just the biannual change made necessary by the much hyped, supposedly 664# modern Brazilian ... voting machines which, apparently, can't deal 665# with a time change between the first and the second rounds of the elections. 666 667# From Steffen Thorsen (2007-09-20): 668# Brazil will start DST on 2007-10-14 00:00 and end on 2008-02-17 00:00: 669# http://www.mme.gov.br/site/news/detail.do;jsessionid=BBA06811AFCAAC28F0285210913513DA?newsId=13975 670 671# From Paul Schulze (2008-06-24): 672# ...by law number 11.662 of April 24, 2008 (published in the "Diario 673# Oficial da União"...) in Brazil there are changes in the timezones, 674# effective today (00:00am at June 24, 2008) as follows: 675# 676# a) The timezone UTC+5 is extinguished, with all the Acre state and the 677# part of the Amazonas state that had this timezone now being put to the 678# timezone UTC+4 679# b) The whole Pará state now is put at timezone UTC+3, instead of just 680# part of it, as was before. 681# 682# This change follows a proposal of senator Tiao Viana of Acre state, that 683# proposed it due to concerns about open television channels displaying 684# programs inappropriate to youths in the states that had the timezone 685# UTC+5 too early in the night. In the occasion, some more corrections 686# were proposed, trying to unify the timezones of any given state. This 687# change modifies timezone rules defined in decree 2.784 of 18 June, 688# 1913. 689 690# From Rodrigo Severo (2008-06-24): 691# Just correcting the URL: 692# https://www.in.gov.br/imprensa/visualiza/index.jsp?jornal=do&secao=1&pagina=1&data=25/04/2008 693# 694# As a result of the above Decree I believe the America/Rio_Branco 695# timezone shall be modified from UTC-5 to UTC-4 and a new timezone shall 696# be created to represent the...west side of the Pará State.

Go with [2]. 1133# 1134# - [1] says SMT was -4:42:45, [2] says Chile's official time from 1135# 1916 to 1919 was -4:42:46.3, the meridian of Chile's National 1136# Astronomical Observatory (OAN), then located in what is now 1137# Quinta Normal in Santiago. Go with [1], as this matches the meridian 1138# referred to by the relevant Chilean laws to this day. 1139# 1140# - [1] says the 1918 transition was Sep 1, [2] says Sep 10 and cites 1141# Boletín No. 22, Aviso No. 129/1918 (1918-08-23). Go with [2]. 1142# 1143# - [1] does not give times for transitions; assume they occur 1144# at midnight mainland time, the current common practice. However, 1145# go with [2]'s specification of 23:00 for the 1947-05-21 transition. 1146# 1147# Another correction to [1] is from Jesper Nørgaard Welen, who 1148# wrote (2006-10-08), "I think that there are some obvious mistakes in 1149# the suggested link from Oscar van Vlijmen,... for instance entry 66 1150# says that GMT-4 ended 1990-09-12 while entry 67 only begins GMT-3 at 1151# 1990-09-15 (they should have been 1990-09-15 and 1990-09-16 1152# respectively), but anyhow it clears up some doubts too." 1153# 1154# Data for Pacific/Easter from 1910 through 1967 come from Shanks & 1155# Pottenger. After that, for lack of better info assume 1156# Pacific/Easter is always two hours behind America/Santiago; 1157# this is known to work for DST transitions starting in 2008 and 1158# may well be true for earlier transitions. 1159 1160# From Tim Parenti (2022-07-06): 1161# For a brief period of roughly six weeks in 1946, DST was only observed on an 1162# emergency basis in specific regions of central Chile; namely, "the national 1163# territory between the provinces of Coquimbo and Concepción, inclusive". 1164# This was enacted by Decree 3,891, dated 1946-07-13, and took effect 1165# 1946-07-14 24:00, advancing these central regions to -03. 1166# https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do-h/19460715/#page/1 1167# The decree contemplated "[t]hat this advancement of the Official Time, even 1168# though it has been proposed for the cities of Santiago and Valparaíso only, 1169# must be agreed with that of other cities, due to the connection of various 1170# activities that require it, such as, for example, the operation of rail 1171# services". It was originally set to expire after 30 days but was extended 1172# through 1946-08-31 by Decree 4,506, dated 1946-08-13. 1173# https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do-h/19460814/#page/1 1174# 1175# Law Number 8,522, promulgated 1946-08-27, reunified Chilean clocks at their 1176# new "Summer Time" of -04, reckoned as that of "the meridian of the 1177# Astronomical Observatory of Lo Espejo, advanced by 42 minutes and 45 1178# seconds". Although this law specified the new Summer Time to start on 1 1179# September each year, a special "transitional article" started it a few days 1180# early, as soon as the law took effect. As the law was to take force "from 1181# the date of its publication in the 'Diario Oficial', which happened the 1182# following day, presume the change took place in Santiago and its environs 1183# from 24:00 -03 to 23:00 -04 on Wednesday 1946-08-28. Although this was a 1184# no-op for wall clocks in the north and south of the country, put their formal 1185# start to DST an hour later when they reached 24:00 -04. 1186# https://www.diariooficial.interior.gob.cl/versiones-anteriores/do-h/19460828/#page/1 1187# After a brief "Winter Time" stint at -05 beginning 1947-04-01, Law Number 1188# 8,777, promulgated 1947-05-17, established year-round -04 "from 23:00 on the 1189# second day after it is published in the 'Diario Oficial'."

However for various reasons many people in the Camp have 1505# started to use daylight saving (known locally as 'Stanley Time') 1506# There is no rule as to who uses daylight saving - it is a matter of 1507# personal choice and so it is impossible to draw a map showing who 1508# uses it and who does not.

I think that this does 1516# not agree in some cases with Shanks; is this true? 1517# 1518# Also, there is no mention in the list that some areas in the 1519# Falklands do not use DST. I have found in my communications there 1520# that these areas are on the western half of East Falkland and all of 1521# West Falkland. Stanley is the only place that consistently observes 1522# DST.
