<div><p>Use this information to understand daylight saving time (DST).
|
|
Find out what DST is and which time zones use DST.</p>
|
|
<p>Many countries or regions specify that their local system time be adjusted
|
|
forward or backward by one hour, to accommodate annual changes in the number
|
|
of daylight hours. This change might also be accompanied by a change in the
|
|
time zone name. For example, in Toronto, Canada, 1 p.m. is announced in the
|
|
winter as 1 p.m., Eastern Standard Time (EST), and is announced in the summer
|
|
as 1 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Daylight saving time is also known
|
|
as <dfn class="term">Advanced Time</dfn>, <dfn class="term">Summer Time</dfn>, or <dfn class="term">Legal Time</dfn> (with
|
|
Standard Time also known as <dfn class="term">Winter Time</dfn>) in certain countries
|
|
or regions. Daylight saving time adjustments in the southern hemisphere are
|
|
opposite to those in the northern hemisphere.</p>
|
|
<p>A general rule for DST changes is that the change from Standard Time to
|
|
DST needs to be completed before 03:00 (local time) on the date or day that
|
|
DST is to begin. Likewise, when changing from DST to Standard Time the time
|
|
change occurs between midnight and 03:00 (local time) on the date or day when
|
|
DST ends.</p>
|
|
<p>Also note that if you use other automatic methods to adjust for DST in
|
|
combination with a time zone that observes DST, you need to disable the other
|
|
methods. Otherwise, your local system time might adjust more than 1 hour for
|
|
DST.</p>
