Notes from the time database
Context for this rule
These source notes are preserved from tzdata. They help explain a rule’s period, without adding claims beyond the source.
Paraguay Shanks & Pottenger say that spring transitions are 01:00 -> 02:00, and autumn transitions are 00:00 -> 23:00. Go with pre-1999 editions of Shanks, and with the IATA, who say transitions occur at 00:00. No time of the day is established for the adjustment, so people normally adjust their clocks at 0 hour of the given dates.
