Chile Changes to Daylight Saving Time 2023
Clocks Move Forward on September 2nd
New Time Begins at 12:00 AM on Sunday, September 3rd
In accordance with national regulations, Chile will transition to Daylight Saving Time (DST) on Saturday, September 2nd, 2023. The change will take effect at midnight (12:00 AM) on Sunday, September 3rd.
This means that at 11:59 PM on September 2nd, clocks in mainland Chile will advance one hour, moving to 1:00 AM on September 3rd. The change is intended to maximize daylight hours during the spring and summer months.
The transition to DST is a common practice in many countries around the world. It aims to conserve energy by reducing the need for artificial lighting during evening hours. Additionally, it provides more daylight for outdoor activities and leisure.
While most electronic devices, including smartphones and computers, automatically adjust to the time change, it is recommended to manually adjust any clocks that may not do so. This includes analog clocks, wall clocks, and certain appliances.
The return to standard time in Chile is scheduled for Saturday, April 1st, 2024.
