Australia turned the clock forward on October 2, at 2:00 → 3:00 . Australia map with current time.
Europe turned the clock back on October 30, at 3:00 → 2:00. Europe map with current time
Mexico turned the clock back on October 30, at 2:00 →1:00. Mexico map with current time

The time change on November 6, 2022 could have been the last time clocks were turned back 1 hour in the United States.

If the bill is approved,

from 2023 the states that use daylight saving time, after turning the clock forward, will not return to standard time, but will remain in daylight saving time permanently, without having to turn back the clock on November 5, 2023.

Daylight saving time

Time difference

(*) Transcontinental countries Asia / Europe

Note: Only 2 countries in South America use the during the summer period:
Chile, and (Easter Island of Chile), and Paraguay. The rest of the countries of South America, do not observe DST throughout the year

Example

3 Symbols are used to indicate the time zones: Summer, Standard or Winter, and No dst.

The current time zone is shown on the right side of the locality.

Daylight Saving Time or summer time, -except Lord Howe Island- it is 1h. more with respect to the standard o local time zone.

Winter Time or Standard local time UTC/ GMT, is the one used the rest of the year, when there is no DST summer time.

Do not use daylight saving time throughout the year. (No Daylight Saving Time). The whole year uses the same time zone.

The hours +1h. +2h. etc. o -1h. -2h. etc. which appear to the right side of to the Locality, inticate the Current Time Zone of the Locality just at the time of consultation.

For example, if the symbol appears on the clock and you want to know the local time zone, the (UTC/GMT), you must subtract one hour (except Lord Howe 30 minutes)

If the clock shows the symbol it corresponds just with the standard time zone of the locality UTC/GMT, or the winter time.

The time with the symbol , as well as the winter symbol, corresponds to the local time or standard UTC/GMT time zone, with the difference that the time zone does not change throughout the year.

Some examples with No dst: Hawaii – Iceland – India – Argentina – Peru – Arizona – China – Russia – Venezuela – Ecuador – Sonora – Cancún.

Why These States Don’t Do Daylight Saving Time

For something as simple as turning the clock back (or forward) an hour, Daylight Saving Time (DST) is awfully polarizing.

So why does Daylight Saving Time (sometimes mistakenly referred to as Daylight Savings Time) even exist, and why do some states not participate in the biannual ritual? It turns out Daylight Saving Time started out nearly a century ago, way back in March 1918. It was officially pitched as a way to save fuel during World War I. In reality, it was also a means of luring people out into the extended daylight hours to shop, attend sporting events and spend time outdoors, author Michael Downing argues in his book Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time. Today, though, more and more states are arguing that the concept is outdated, and some are even considering dropping it altogether.

Two U.S. states and several territories don’t do Daylight Saving, and a Massachusetts commission is currently campaigning for the Commonwealth, and possibly the rest of New England and New York, to move into the Atlantic time zone, effectively ending Daylight Savings Time there by permanently turning the clocks an hour ahead. Proponents argue that the switch could mediate some of the economic and health consequences that come with decreased daylight — including upticks in traffic accidents, heart attacks, workplace injuries and crime — while improving quality of life during dark fall and winter months. States across the country, from Alaska to Texas to Florida, have floated similar ideas.

Only time will tell if Massachusetts moves forward with the plan, joining these states that do not observe Daylight Savings Time.

Most of Arizona hasn’t observed Daylight Saving Time since 1968, when the state legislature opted out of 1966’s Uniform Time Act, which regulates time zones and DST. Why? Thanks to its location, the state gets plenty of daylight — and heat — all year round, USA Today reports. Ignoring Daylight Saving Time helps keep temperatures down during waking hours, cuts back on energy usage and syncs bedtimes with the light outside.

Interestingly, a bill that circulated in 2015 would have restored Daylight Saving Time in Arizona, citing economic difficulties related to the discrepancy with other states. The bill had support from some lawmakers, Tuscon.com reports, but ultimately didn’t pass.

But while most of the state doesn’t observe Daylight Saving Time, the Navajo Nation, which covers a large swath of northeastern Arizona, still switches its clocks twice a year. That’s because it extends into Utah and New Mexico, which still use Daylight Saving Time, according to Conde Nast Traveler.

Hawaii abandoned the Uniform Time Act a year before Arizona, in 1967, simply because of its relative proximity to the equator, which makes Daylight Saving Time unnecessary. The sun rises and sets around the same time each day in Hawaii, making the idea of springing forward and falling back redundant.

A handful of U.S. territories also don’t observe Daylight Saving Time for essentially the same reasons as Hawaii — ample sunshine throughout the day. These places include Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

   What happened

   The US Senate voted to cancel the clocks for winter time.

   Arguments

   Clock changers most often talk about saving energy. nine0015

   Counterarguments

   Opponents of the translation point out that the shift in circadian rhythms can be dangerous for the human body.

   In Russia

   Since 2014, Russia has been following winter time, with the exception of a few regions.

   What Happened

   The US Senate approved a bill that would make DST permanent in the country. If passed, Americans will no longer have to turn their clocks twice a year. nine0015

   • After Senate approval, the bill was sent to the House of Representatives.

   It’s time for Congress to pass our bipartisan bill to make daylight saving time permanent and brighten up the coldest months with an extra hour of afternoon sun.

   Sheldon Whitehouse, Senator

   • If passed by the House of Representatives, the document will be placed on the table of President Joe Biden.
   • The law will probably come into force no earlier than 2023. Senator Marco Rubio noted that transport companies have already drawn up a schedule and they will need time to make adjustments. nine0004

   Daylight saving time in the United States traditionally occurs on the second Sunday of March, and the transition to winter time occurs on the first Sunday of November. This does not affect Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam and American Samoa.

   Arguments

   The clock change was initially justified by economic expediency.

   • Thanks to the changeover to winter time, more working hours fell on daylight hours, which means that the amount of electricity consumed was reduced. nine0004
   • Clock changers also point out that when people get more “light” time after work, people prefer more active leisure activities, such as playing sports or meeting friends, instead of spending evenings on the couch.

   Counter-arguments

   Opponents of the clock change insist that the resulting stress has a negative impact on people’s health.

   • Some studies have found an association between daylight savings time and increased heart attack rates due to shifting circadian rhythms. nine0004
   • The change of clock affects the concentration of attention, which leads to an increase in the number of accidents in the early days.
   • Energy savings are also questioned. Although the cost of lighting in the evenings is reduced, the lights have to be turned on in the morning. In addition, a later sunset encourages the use of air conditioning in the evening.

   In Russia

   Daylight Saving Time was first introduced in Russia in 1917. This continued until 1921, when the time zone system was introduced. nine0015

   • On June 16, 1930, the hands were again moved forward one hour (the so-called daylight savings time) “in order to make better use of the daylight hours.”
   • Switching to daylight saving time was returned in 1981, but already taking into account the daylight savings time. As a result, summer time began to be ahead of standard time by 2 hours.
