Members Riobard Posted October 26, 2019 Members Posted October 26, 2019 (edited) Apparently has now been cancelled, where it existed, starting November for the usual approximate 3.5 months. I think this means a new time difference (from Eastern) range of 1-2 hours, formerly 1-3 hours. In Rio de Janeiro in January, for example, this will mean earlier sunset, in the 18:40 range compared to 19:40 last (our) winter. It will not affect Carnival weekend daylight this year because it falls shortly after when DST customarily ended. Porto Alegre sunset, then, contemporaneously shifts from about 20:30 to 19:30 hours. Salvador has not observed DST since 2012. Sunset will remain about 18:00 hours in January. Granted, this news is irrelevant to those who dash to the moldy cummy corners of local hoo-casa suites directly following midday meal. Edited October 26, 2019 by Riobard Erratum Quote
