Daylight saving time (DST), also referred to as daylight saving(s), daylight savings time, daylight time (United States and Canada), or summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks to make better use of the longer daylight available during summer so that darkness falls at a later clock time.
The shift is the amount of time added at the DST start time and subtracted at the DST end time.

The schedule change was planned to take place every year between September and March, corresponding to the spring and summer of the South American ...
