Fun Fact: When it’s not Daylight Saving Time, it’s Standard Time (or normal time) // Dato curioso: cuando no es horario de verano, es hora estándar (u hora normal).

Among our pet peeves – having to change the clock at all!

The practice occurs in the USA, Canada, Europe, parts of the Middle East, some Australian states, Aotearoa New Zealand, Chile, and Paraguay.

Wikipedia: Daylight saving time (abbreviated DST) is the practice of advancing clocks during summer months so that evening daylight lasts longer, while sacrificing normal sunrise times.
