In this case Chile decided (on March 4th) that instead of going forwards to DST at midnight March 14th, they will delay that to April 4th.
It's instances like these where I wish people would push back and say, "No, we're not going to change our clocks." I was in Chile in late March. Cell phones showed different times depending on which tower they were talking to. I'm guessing some cell providers patched their systems in time and others didn't.
- jonhohle 14y agoAfter having lived in Arizona for four years, I can attest to dropping daylight saving time as being awesome. That twice a year scramble through the house to update clock - unheard of. That terrible day in spring when an hour is taken from your day - non-existent. I can't think of one negative regarding ignoring switching - except that you have to recalibrate to other people's offsets twice a year.
- Someone 14y agoOne disadvantage that I personally experienced: extreme time disorientation when flying Minneapolis-LA with a changeover in Phoenix, the Sunday morning (departure from Minneapolis at 6 AM or thereabouts) that DST started. On top of that, I did not know at the time that Arizona doesn't do DST. Because departure and arrival times are in local time zones, flight times were 'randomly' cut short/long, I adjusted my watch four times (one of them to the non-existent Arizona+DST) on a single day, etc.
