Chile extends DST due to drought
The Associated Press reports that yesterday Chile announced it will extend DST this year due to a drought, until the last Saturday in March. Does anybody have details? Here's the URL I used for the AP report (though it may not work for you: AP Google URLs are unreliable in my experience): http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gvriCVJJJ0RYvhGDq06v1nEykPDgD8ULKSI80 Without further info, I guess I would assume that DST will end in Chile and in Easter Island on March 30 at 03:00 UTC.
Hello, I received this information from a colleague in the Oracle office in Chili: There is a announcement on http://www.gobiernodechile.cl/noticias_det/?which=10062 This article is published in the official page of the Government and states that the Ministry of Energy announced the change in DST. Now, in order for it to become completely official it has to be published in 'Diario Official'. All decrees and resolutions become official when are published here (www.diariooficial.cl). From the moment I have more information I will forward it. Regards, Gunther Paul Eggert wrote:
