Cuba will move to summer time on 31st of March at midnight

Cuba moves to daylight saving time (DST) at midnight at the end of 31 March: the clocks go forward one hour, to 01:00 on 1 April 2012.

Cuba first used summer time in 1928, but it was not widely used until World War II. After the war, Cuba stopped using summer time until 1965.^[1]

From March 2004 until 29 October 2006, Cuba stayed on daylight saving time all year; then it went back to standard time.^[1]

Update, 26 October 2026: In 2012 summer time ended on 4 November. Since 2013 Cuba has used the same schedule every year: summer time from midnight on the second Sunday of March until the first Sunday of November, like the USA. In 2026 it began on 8 March 2026 and ends on 1 November 2026.^[1] See also: Cuba will switch to summer time on March 10, 2013.
