Chile's Daylight Saving Time Change Set for September 2nd
Horario de Verano 2023 Arrives in Chile
Saturday, September 2nd Marks the Transition
Chile will undergo its annual daylight saving time (DST) change on Saturday, September 2nd, 2023, at midnight. This means that all clocks will be set forward by one hour, aligning with the beginning of the southern hemisphere's spring season.
The purpose of DST is to make better use of daylight hours during the warmer months. By moving clocks forward in the spring and back in the fall, more daylight is available in the evenings, allowing for increased outdoor activities and potential energy savings.
The change to DST will impact the entire country of Chile. It is important to remember to adjust all clocks, including those in homes, businesses, and vehicles, to avoid any confusion or missed appointments.
Chile has been observing DST since 1967, with some interruptions over the years. However, since 2015, DST has been implemented consistently every year from the first Sunday in September until the first Sunday in April.
For those traveling to or from Chile during this time, it is crucial to be aware of the DST change and adjust their travel plans accordingly. Airlines and other transportation providers will adjust their schedules to align with the new time zone.
