I did some searching online. Diario Co Latino, at http://www.diariocolatino.com/internacionales/detalles.asp?NewsID=8079, says in an article dated 2006-04-19 that the Guatemalan government had decided on that date to advance official time by 60 minutes, to lessen the impact of the elevated cost of oil. There is an archived article on mipunto.com (http://www.mipunto.com/punto_noticias/noticia_latin.jsp?tipo=CENTROECO&arch ivo=060419183143.3zxeu5u5.txt) to the same effect. Daylight saving time will last from 2006-04-29 24:00 (Guatemalan standard time) to 2006-09-30 (time unspecified), according to Diario Co Latino; mipunto.com calls it 00:00. Diario Co Latino seems to be the website of a newspaper in San Salvador. Mipunto.com is a Venezuelan site. -- Gwillim Law ----- Original Message ----- From: "Oscar van Vlijmen" <ovv@hetnet.nl> To: "TZ-list" <tz@lecserver.nci.nih.gov> Sent: Saturday, April 22, 2006 10:06 AM Subject: Guatemala DST?
Some sources say Guatemala will observe DST this year. For instance Steffen Thorsen: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=94
DST starts on Sunday, April 30, 2006 at 12:00 Midnight local standard time DST ends on Sunday, October 1, 2006 at 12:00 Midnight local daylight time
TZ database still has no DST since 1991. What is the truth?
