Daylight Savings Time In Mexico
DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IN MEXICO
Daylight Saving Time begins at 2:00 a.m. local time on the first
Sunday in April. On the last Sunday in October areas on Daylight Saving
Time fall back to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. The names in each time
zone change along with Daylight Saving Time. Central Standard Time
(CST) becomes Central Daylight Time (CDT), and so forth. The state of
Sonora does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
Mexico uses three time zones. Most of the country uses Central Standard
Time. The states of
Nayarit, Sonora, Sinaloa and Baja California Sur use Mountain Standard
Time and Baja California Norte uses Pacific Standard Time

Yes, we change this weekend.
Then, four weeks later Mexico changes.
Its a real pain for those of us who live on both sides of the border.

What is one hour in the land of manana? I don't think anyone notices an hour down here. I stay on USA time and so do my "atomic clocks" and my
computer. Just another thing that makes Mexico look stooopid IMHO.

I think that the USA is the one that changed the rules. Mexico is still on the old daylight savings schedule

I'd just rather not see ANY daylight savings clock switches.

So we have the tail trying to wag the dog?
I'm sure that Mexican tourism department idiot thinks the USA changes it's clocks to prevent an hour of shopping in Mexico with Dollars.

Some People have trouble coping.
Jeez, are there still people that get confused by this ? I can only imagine how screwed up the rest of their life must be if this is a problem for
them.

False Reporting
This whole thread needs to be discarded. Time never changes in Baja. Who has a clock or a watch in Baja? Who needs one?
The sun rises, you do daytime things. The sun sets, you do night things. Can't you people remember something that simple?
I also like the phrase Spring Back and Fall Forward - sorta reminds me of doing too many shooters.

Mexico Time
If nothing else, you need a clock to track the tides.
AND, of course, so that you won't miss Glenn Beck.
