Regional Variations of Daylight Saving Time

Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

Even within a single country, the start and end dates for daylight saving can vary. In Australia, for instance, some states observe DST while others do not. In the U.S., Arizona and Hawaii famously opt out of DST altogether, creating a patchwork effect. These variations lead to confusion in everything from airline timetables to television broadcasts. Many people scour official sources each year to confirm local regulations. Recognizing these regional quirks underscores the complexity inherent in modern time policy.
