Sunday at midnight, Uruguay goes off Summer time. This is the very same day the US goes to Daylight Savings. (European Summer Time does not go into effect until March 25, as I have been informed minutes ago.)What this means is that Uruguay will now be only 1 hour later than New York time, and (until March 25th) 3 hours earlier than London and 4 hours earlier than Rome.
So, if your country is starting summer time, the time change relative to Uruguay will be 2 hours because you “spring forward” and we “fall back”. If you are not orbserving summer time, there will only be a 1 hour adjustment.
Locally this means that for the next 6 months we will be on the same time, (though not the same wave length) as Argentina.
Oh yeah, and some politician from the States got here and really screwed up traffic….
Screwed up traffic? You’re lucky. He’s screwed up a lot more than that here!
