FW: Cuba back on standard time

I'm forwarding this message from Mike Castleman, who is not on the time zone mailing list. Those of you who are on the list: please direct replies to this message appropriately. Thanks! MC: others have also reported this information, and Paul Eggert has circulated proposed changes to the time zone database to reflect it; those changes should appear in the ftpable version of the database this coming Monday. --ado -----Original Message----- From: mike castleman [mailto:m@mlcastle.net] Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 2:07 AM To: tz@lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: Cuba back on standard time According to _Granma_, the official newspaper: AT 1:00 a.m. on Sunday, October 29, the clocks in Cuba were put back one hour, thus standard time - also known as winter time - in Cuba has once more come into effect. [...] full article (english): http://www.granma.cu/ingles/2006/octubre/lun30/45hora.html (spanish): http://www.granma.cu/espanol/2006/octubre/vier27/horario-e.html The Spanish article is clearer than the English that the change took place at 1am summer time; i.e., midnight standard time.
