True > The shortest day of the year in Panamá is 12.4 hours long and occurs on the winter solstice - December 21st. > The longest day of the year in Panamá is 13.4 hours long and occurs on the summer solstice - June 21st. https://www.sunrisesunsettime.org/central-america/panama/panama-day-length.htm https://www.sunrisesunsettime.org/central-america/panama/pan... Meanwhile however, for example Cancún in Mexico seems to not have too much of a difference either > The shortest day of the year in Cancún is 11.7 hours long and occurs on the winter solstice - December 21st. > The longest day of the year in Cancún is 14.2 hours long and occurs on the summer solstice - June 21st. https://www.sunrisesunsettime.org/central-america/mexico/cancun-day-length.htm https://www.sunrisesunsettime.org/central-america/mexico/can... That’s 2.5 hours difference in Cancún between shortest and longest day. Which is more, but still not a lot right. Compare to Oslo, Norway. > The shortest day of the year in Oslo is 7.8 hours long and occurs on the winter solstice - December 22nd. > The longest day of the year in Oslo is 22.3 hours long and occurs on the summer solstice - June 21st. https://www.sunrisesunsettime.org/europe/norway/oslo-day-length.htm https://www.sunrisesunsettime.org/europe/norway/oslo-day-len... Now we are talking. And now consider this: - I am Norwegian. All my life I’ve been used to DST just being a thing that happens. - For the past couple of months I’ve been staying in Cancún in Mexico. While I was there, time in Europe was adjusted for DST as usual. - I came to Panama one week ago. - To me it was indeed surprising to find out today that neither Panama nor Mexico observe DST. - Panama is extra unique wrt DST for me, because they never used it. - Mexico used to observe DST up until recently. Even in Cancún they had a DST adjustment as recently as 2014. And in some other parts of Mexico as recently as 2022. Them following DST was mainly because of economic ties to USA according to Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_in_Mexico https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_saving_time_in_Mexico So, to the people ITT think it’s obvious that Panama does not have DST. Well, that’s gonna depend on your past experiences and where you are from. It certainly was a surprise to me :P And considering even Mexico used to follow DST, it might not even be as obvious as those other commenters make it out to be.
