Yucatán, which corresponds to TZDB’s America/Merida, is considering switching from -06 (CST) all year to -05 (EST) all year.[1] This would be akin to observing permanent daylight saving time. (Yucatán last observed DST in 2022, after which Mexico abolished DST except in regions near the US.) There does not seem to be any rush to decide whether to make the change. If Yucatán does switch presumably Campeche will not, so we would therefore need to split America/Merida into two zones, and as Mérida is in Yucatán we would need a new name for Campeche. The largest city in the Mexican state of Campeche is its capital San Francisco de Campeche, commonly called just “Campeche” like the state, so presumably America/Campeche would be the name of the new TZDB zone. One possible date and time for Yucatán’s hypothetical switch would be March 8, 2026 at 02:00, which is when US CST is planned to switch to CDT. Any such transition is purely speculative at this point, though, so I am not now proposing a patch to TZDB. [1]: David Domínguez Massa.
