Chile Enacts Daylight Saving Time
Beginning April 6th, 2024
New Standard Time UTC-4
In accordance with decree 224, Chile will implement a new time change on April 6th, 2024. The country will transition to its standard time of UTC-4, marking a return to the traditional schedule.
This adjustment is the first of two annual time changes in Chile. The second change will occur in September 2024, when the clocks will be moved forward by 60 minutes.
The change to winter time in Chile is intended to align with the natural daylight cycle and conserve energy. By reducing the hours of evening sunlight, the country can minimize the need for artificial lighting.
The specific details for the time change are as follows:
- Date: Saturday, April 6th, 2024
- Time: 00:00 AM
- Adjustment: Clocks will be moved back by 60 minutes
Residents of Chile are advised to adjust their clocks accordingly to ensure a smooth transition to the new time.
