Summer time and world time zones

Daylight Saving Time adds another time zone, and countries that use DST change time zones twice a year.


Clock changes in other parts of the world

  • Paraguay goes back to Standard Time on 26 March 2023
  • Mexico no longer observes Daylight Saving Time (DST), with the exception of places along the US border.
  • Iran went back to Standard Time on 22 September. It will no longer use DST.

A lot of countries do not use Daylight Saving Time (DST)

With Iran, which has announced that once its clocks go back to Standard Time, it will no longer switch back to DST, the number of non-DST countries is one short of 130. This roughly represents two-thirds of the total number of the world's states.
