According to an article published in the Bahamas website Magnetic Media, the cabinet of Turks & Caicos decided on Thursday to resume the practice of daylight saving time starting in 2018. The article does not give enough details to update the database (it confuses summer with winter time, among other things). My guess is that Turks & Caicos will revert to its pre-2015 practice of staying in sync with New York, which means that tzdb's predictions for its UTC offsets will become wrong in November 2018, and the abbreviations and tm_isdst flag will become wrong some time between March and November 2018 (although the article implies April, this could well be an error). When the cabinet and/or the Turks & Caicos Weekly News get around to publishing the details of the decision, we should be able to update tzdb to reflect this change with some accuracy. Gordon Z.
