Time in Argentina

Time In Argentina

Argentina is located at a longitude that would naturally put it in the UTC−4 time zone, but it actually uses the UTC−3 time zone. Argentina determines whether to observe daylight saving time on a year-by-year basis, and individual provinces may opt out of the federal decision. At present, Argentina does not observe daylight saving time.

The Argentine Hydrographic Service maintains the official national time.

Famous quotes containing the word time:

    “It is because the public are a mass—inert, obtuse, and passive—that they need to be shaken up from time to time so that we can tell from their bear-like grunts where they are—and also where they stand. They are pretty harmless, in spite of their numbers, because they are fighting against intelligence.”
    —Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)
