DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IN MEXICO
In most of 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. local time. Central Standard Time (CST) becomes Central Daylight Time (CDT), and so forth. The
state of Sonora does not observe daylight saving time. During daylight saving time turn your clocks ahead one hour. At the end of daylight saving time
turn your clocks back one hour.
NEW! In 2010 ten Mexico municipalities which share a border with the United States will begin daylight saving time three weeks earlier on the second
Sunday in March and end on the first Sunday in November. Previously all of Mexico, with the exception of the state of Sonora which does not observe
daylight saving time, began and ended daylight saving time at the same time. The Congress of Mexico passed legislation in December 2009 which allowed
these ten border cities to adopt a daylight saving time pattern consistent with the United States. The municipalities which are now permitted by law
to observe daylight saving time consistent with the United States are:
City, State
Acuna, Coahuila
Anahuac, Nuevo Leon
Juarez, Chihuahua
Matamoros, Tamaulipas
Mexicali, Baja California
Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas
Ojinaga, Chihuahua
Piedras Negras, Coahuila
Reynosa, Tamaulipas
Tijuana, Baja California
The observation of daylight saving time for these ten municipalities will begin at 2:00 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March. On the first
Sunday in November these areas will return to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. local time.
This change in daylight saving time observance was requested by local governments and political leaders to help facilitate commerce with the United
States. Industries such as transportation and banking were especially affected by the differences in daylight saving time. In some cases businesses
had to to open an hour early than usual to conduct business with US companies during the 3 weeks in March when the two countries were on different
times.
Some smaller towns and villages surrounding these ten municipalities may unofficially follow the extended daylight saving time pattern.

Here's one that says, "Tecate, Sí."
Isn't this just typical of Mexico? The right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing.
-------------------------------------
Northern Mexican Border's New Daylight Saving Plan
Northern Mexico’s border cities will soon share the same daylight saving schedule as the United States. The new DST schedule will see these border
cities extending their daylight saving time (DST) to last from the second Sunday of March to the first Sunday of November, which is in line with the
United States’ DST schedule.
Mexico’s Chamber of Deputies, as well as the Senate, have both approved a proposal for northern Mexico’s border cities to share the same daylight
saving schedule with the United States. The synchronized schedule for the border cities will begin on Sunday, March 14, 2010.
Above is a map showing northern regions in Mexico that will share the same daylight saving schedule as the USA. These parts are highlighted in pink or
within the dashed area and are numbered on the map. Note: the dashed lines are an indicative display of the areas roughly 20 kilometers from and
within the Mexican side of the US/Mexican border.New DST Schedule for Northern Mexico
Mexico’s Congress passed a law in December 2009, bringing the DST schedule observed by northern Mexico’s border cities to be in line with the United
States' DST schedule. The daylight saving arrangement will affect the following areas:
•Tijuana & Playas de Rosarito.
•Ensenada.
•Mexicali.
•Tecate.
•Ciudad Juarez.
•Ojinaga.
•Ciudad Acuña.
•Piedras Negras.
•Anahuac.
•Nuevo Laredo.
•Reynosa.
•Matamoros.
The synchronized daylight saving schedule also applies to towns on the Mexico’s’ northern border between “the international line and the pipeline
located at a distance of 20 kilometers (about 12 miles)". The revised DST arrangement also affects to the municipality of Ensenada in Baja California.
The new DST schedule will see these areas move the clocks forward from 2am (02:00) to 3am (03:00) local time on the second Sunday of March, and then
back from 2am (02:00) to 1am (01:00) local time on the first Sunday of November. This schedule is synchronized with DST schedule set in the United
States’ Energy Policy Act of 2005.

I don't know. I don't care either. None of this will have anything to do with when the sun rises and sets. They can't change that.

I'll just go on as usual and if I find that I'm 1 hour early for something I will assume that the time changed here in BCS and set my watch
accordingly....dt

Really, a watch! In Baja??? I take mine off as soon as I am there and try not to worry about time...even when I have an appt. there I know the person
I am meeting with will call me 10 minutes after the appt. was suppose to begin and say they will be there in 10 minutes which I know means that I now
have about 30 minutes to go so I start to get ready to leave the house!
Whenever I hear that rainy, chill wind blow. I think it may be time to head for Mexico. Tengo que obedecer mi corazon!
