Hi Contributors,

 

Please note that there will not be any daylight savings time change in Fiji for 2022-2023.

 

As per current tzdata, the time is scheduled to be changed on 13 November and moved back on 15 January. However, as per the government announcement, it will not be the case and they have canceled the DST change. You can find the announcement on: https://www.facebook.com/FijianGovernment/posts/pfbid0mmWVTYmTibn66ybpFda75pDcf34SSpoSaskJW5gXwaKo5Sgc7273Q4fXWc6kQV6Hl

 

Requesting if the updated tzdata package can be provided so the patch can be implemented in the system and reflected in global time and data systems.
