Yes. Daylight Saving Time is the period of the year when the clocks “spring forward”, usually by one hour in Spring time and “fall back” in Autumn/Fall. The seasons are of course determined by hemisphere. The Time Zone layer has fields to indicate whether a country/region observes DST and has the start and end times for the period (expressed in Universal Time, UTC) for 2002 – 2011. Successive versions of Global Insight [Plus] will include information for subsequent years.
