Clocks in Falkland Islands stay in summer time the whole of 2011
Clocks in the Falkland Islands were meant to change to winter time on 17 April. However, on a trial basis, the Falkland Islands will remain on summer time throughout the whole of 2011. This means that the clocks will stay at GMT-3.[1][2]
Normally, the clocks go back to standard time on the third Sunday of April, from 02:00 to 01:00, and forward to summer time on the first Sunday of September, from 02:00 to 03:00.[1]
Update, 26 October 2026: The trial became permanent. The Falklands kept summer time in 2012 too, and have used UTC-3 all year ever since.[2][3] The aim was more office hours in common with the United Kingdom and Europe, and lighter evenings in winter.[3]
