Summary

This article describes a hotfix that updates daylight saving time (DST) settings for Chile and Mexico. Before you install this hotfix, check the Prerequisites section in this article.

Introduction

Chile

Chile announced a DST change on January 28, 2015. For 2015 and going forward, Chile will remain in DST. (No DST change will be observed.) Therefore, the UTC offset for Chile will be updated to UTC-3:00, and the display name of the "Pacific SA Standard Time" time zone will be updated to "(UTC-3:00) Santiago."

Mexico

The Mexican state of Quintana Roo is moving from UTC-6:00 to UTC-5:00. The "Eastern Standard Time (Mexico)" will be created, and this new time zone will have a display name of "(UTC-5:00) Chetumal". This time zone will observe the following DST rules:

  • Start date: The first Sunday of April at 02:00 (clocks move forward by one hour)

  • End date: The last Sunday of October at 02:00 (clocks move backward by one hour)
