Brazil moves DST start to November

According to many media sources, next year's DST start in Brazil will move to the first Sunday of November, and it will stay like that for the years after.

Thanks. But wow, that's a long URL. I assume a shorter URL will be available at some point, and I'd rather use that. Eventually we should be able to use a link from http://pcdsh01.on.br/ if nothing else will serve.

Sorry, now I got able to shorten it a bit by stripping some crap: http://www.imprensanacional.gov.br/consulta?p_p_id=101&p_p_state=maximized&_... Or also, there's a link to the "certified PDF version", but this is to the whole page of the official government publication, the decree is the first thing, in the upper left ("DECRETO Nº 9.242, DE 15 DE DEZEMBRO ..."): http://pesquisa.in.gov.br/imprensa/jsp/visualiza/index.jsp?data=18/12/2017&j... cya -- (nil)

This link is quite short: http://www.planalto.gov.br/ccivil_03/_ato2015-2018/2017/decreto/D9242.htm Best regards, Steffen - timeanddate.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 20.12.2017 03:53, Gustavo De Nardin (spuk) wrote:

In September, RTTNews reported that Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico (ONS) had done a preliminary study saying that the effect of DST on Brazil's energy usage was trivial and decreasing; see <http://markets.businessinsider.com/news/interestrates/BRAZIL-Government-Look...>. Although I assume this was part of a push to cancel DST entirely in Brazil, it looks like the government decided to cancel just two or three weeks' worth.
