Gee... they keep changing things. First, this weekend, the Province of Tucumán decided it'd go back to UTC-03:00 yesterday midnight (that is, at 24:00 Saturday 12th), since the people's annoyance with the change is much higher than the power savings obtained (originally estimated in about 5% and apparently yelding only about 1% of I don't quite know what measure). http://www.lanacion.com.ar/04/06/12/de_609614.asp So, oficially, Tucumán went back last weekend. What's more, Tierra del Fuego is studying also the possibility of going back to UTC-03:00 earlier than originally stated, since the short afternoons would also affect the upcoming ski season, although it's not clear when will that happen (if it will). http://www.lanacion.com.ar/04/06/10/de_609078.asp I'll try to keep you posted :-/ El 14 Jun 2004 a las 0:53, Paul Eggert escribió:
Thanks for reporting the news about the 8 other provinces in Argentina that just moved their clocks. I'll submit a proposed patch to the tz list shortly.
For now, I'll assume that this is a special year due to a power shortage, and that next year the 9 provinces plan to revert to UTC+3 all year. If this isn't correct, please let me know.
