Country-specific time-zone notes
- Different parts of Chile use different IANA identifiers; a country name alone is not precise enough for every location.
- All current offsets are whole-hour offsets.
- Seasonal clock rules are present in 2 of the listed zones and may cause the number of simultaneous local times to change during the year.
IANA identifiers and territory associations come from the bundled IANA zone.tab data. Current offsets and transitions are calculated from the time-zone rules available to this build and refreshed in your browser. Directory cities are representative locations, not legal boundary definitions. See the methodology and data sources.
