summer time period
Daylight Saving (no s) Time is called Summer Time in Europe, Africa and South America.
Daylight saving ("summer time") in France and all other EU countries (and some non-EU countries) runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. The clock change, forwards in spring in backwards in autumn, always occurs at 01:00 UTC (GMT). The end of daylight saving time in France therefore occurs at 03:00 Central European Summer Time, when the clocks go back to 02:00 Central European Time. In 2008, this happened on 26 October.
Daylight Saving Time ExtendedOn Monday August 8, 2005 President Bush signed into law a broad energy bill (Energy Policy Act of 2005) that will extend Daylight Saving Time by four weeks in 2007. The provisions of the bill call for Daylight Saving Time to begin three weeks earlier on the second Sunday in March and end one week later on the first Sunday in November. Previously, Daylight Saving Time started on the first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October.In 2007 when the provisions take effect Daylight Saving Time will begin on March 11 and end on November 4, 2007.While polls indicate most people favor extending Daylight Saving Time there are opponents who fought against the extension. The airline industry has said it will cost millions of dollars to change schedules and some school systems have concerns that students will be waiting for the bus in darkness in the mornings. It is expected that school systems will issue advisories to both parents and students on how to handle these situations.There have been many proponents of extending Daylight Saving Time, including operators of golf courses, theme parks and businesses providing outdoor activities.Estimated to save 100,000 barrels of oil for every day of Daylight Saving Time.

When it is 6 PM Eastern time (New York is in the Eastern time zone), it is 2 PM in the Mountain Time Zone. Arizona is in the Mountain Time Zone, but Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving's Time, so during Daylight Savings (it begins the second Sunday of March), you would call at 3 PM, but after Daylight Savings ends (the first Sunday of November) you would call at 2 PM.

Cuba Standard Time is GMT (UTC) - 5Cuba Standard Time is the same as Eastern Standard Time (UTC - 5 hours), and Cuba Daylight Saving Time is the same as Eastern Daylight Saving Time (UTC - 4 hours). Also, Cuba has been beginning and ending Daylight Saving Time on the same dates as the United States, Canada, Bermuda and the Bahamas since fall 2012 (2nd Sunday of March to the 1st Sunday of November). The only differences are that Cuba begins DST two hours earlier than New York, etc. and ends DST one hour earlier.

To call a friend in Barcelona from another country, you need to dial the international access code for your country, followed by Spain's country code (+34), and then the local number. For example, if you are calling from the U.S., you would dial 011 (international access) + 34 (Spain) + the local number. Barcelona is in the Central European Time Zone (CET), which is UTC+1, and during Daylight Saving Time (from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October), it observes Central European Summer Time (CEST), which is UTC+2. Be sure to consider the time difference when calling!
