It's March Madness time for daylight-saving rule changes.

I expect that Arthur David Olson will issue 2003d sometime soon. (No schedule, though.)

Decree on Brazilian Summer time
by Paulo Alexandre Pinto Pires Sept. 26, 2003

Sept. 26, 2003

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 Sept. 22, 2003

Sept. 22, 2003

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
by Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) Sept. 20, 2003

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

Sept. 19, 2003

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?
