Decree on Brazilian Summer time
by Paulo Alexandre Pinto Pires 26 Sep '03

26 Sep '03

Hello. The official decree was finally issued and can be get at <https://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/decreto/2003/D4844.htm>. However, it contains a great infelicity: it clearly states that summer time is to end at 2004/02/14 00:00. That would be, for the strict reader, at midnight from Friday to Saturday. I am affraid that they really mean midnight from Saturday to Sunday, which is consistent with previous editions of summer time. What are we to do? -- Pappires ...

TZ changes for Brazil for 2003/2004
by Paulo Alexandre Pinto Pires 22 Sep '03

22 Sep '03

Dear sirs, Attached are my diffs to tzdata2003c for the just-released rules for Brazilian summer time 2003/2004. Since this year two states that traditionally obeyed summer time are no longer doing so, I had to create two new cities, namely Salvador and Campo Grande, for the states of Bahia (BA) and Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). Hoping to have helped, -- Pappires ... Qui habet aurem audiat quid Spiritus dicat ecclesiis.

FW: Question about Enewetak

Daniela Duerbeck is not on the time zone list; direct replies appropriately. --ado -----Original Message----- From: daniela.duerbeck(a)t-online.de [mailto:daniela.duerbeck@t-online.de] Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 4:49 PM To: tz(a)lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Question about Enewetak Hi! On many places in the Internet I find pages that tell that Enewetak on the Marshall Islands has an offset vs. Greenwich Meantime of -12 hours, but the tz data base states +12 hours (for all Islands of the Marshalls). What is correct? The named pages all tell, that Enewetak is different to the rest of the Marshall Islands. Can it be, that this Island was one of these to change date before the year 2000 to be the first to celebrate it? If not, is there something missing in the tz database? Thanks a lot in advance, Dani

Hi, When you must have an official confirmation of the Brazilian government on the beginning and the end of the summer time 2003/2004, and which the states will go to have the summer time? It starts day 19 of October of 2003 and goes until the 14 of February of 2004. When you go you are bringing up to date the southamerica archive? He has 3 states that this year will not go to have summer schedule. How they will be these changes?
