Welcome to the DST (or Daylight Saving Time)! Its by no means - TopicsExpress



          

Welcome to the DST (or Daylight Saving Time)! Its by no means observed all over the world. The map shows in blue the areas, where its in use, in ochre the areas where its been in use, and in red the areas where its never been used. Russia makes an interesting exception. Whereas the rest of the northern hemisphere considers the winter time normal, Russia decided to adhere to the summer time forever in 2011. According to the then president Dmitry Medvedev the time changes caused “stress and illnesses”. He added: “And that’s not to mention the unhappy cows ... who don’t understand why the milkmaids come to them at a different time. Ukraine and Belarus decided to follow, but Ukraine soon reversed its decision. I dont know the history, but permanent daylight saving time seems to be in use in Iceland and Argentina, too. It should be noted that in the southern hemisphere DST is observed during our winter and the start and end dates vary. For example, in the United States the DST began on the second Sunday of March.
