Brazil's Time Zone on Edit Account

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello, webmaster. I'm e-mailing you to give a suggestion about the options given for Brazil's Time Zone when Editing Accounts. Nowadays there are 4 options:

1.Brazil/DeNoronha;
2.Brazil/Acre;
3.Brazil/East;
4.Brazil/West;

This, as it is now, isn't a good way to show time zones because it isn't according to the actual time zones in Brazil. First, because the brazilian parliament voted the law nº 11.662, of April 24th of 2008, which says that from 0 hour of June 24th of 2008, the Acre time zone is extinct, so there are only 3 time zones in Brazil! As you can see on this map (without DST): http://pcdsh01.on.br/Fusbr.htm
So, actually, time zone, in Brazil, is:

1. Brazilian Atlantic islands (Archipelago Fernando de Noronha, Trindade's Island, Martin Vaz's Islands, Penedos de São Pedro e São Paulo): UTC -2hs/GMT -2hs;
2. Official Brazil's timezone - aka Hour of Brasília (Amapá, Goiás, Tocantins, Distrito Federal, eastern part of Pará (to the eastern of Xingu river); all the states of Northeast, Southeast and South regions: UTC -3hs/GMT -3hs;
3. West and Extreme West (Roraima, Rondônia, Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul, western part of Pará, Amazonas and Acre): UTC -4hs/GMT -4hs.

Thus, I hope you change the options with to the correct timezones correspondency.
Thanks.
