Mexico Not Changing Clocks Until April 1
 Associated Press
| | Daylight-saving time is early in the U.S. this year as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. |
While Americans will be turning their clocks ahead for daylight-saving time Sunday, Mexico won't until Apri1 1.
That means three weeks of confusion for those whose lives are in two countries.
No one expects major problems and some say it will be just like before Mexico joined daylight-saving time in 1996.
"It's almost like an advantage for us, though maybe not for the people coming this way," said Bill Summers of the Rio Grande Valley Partnership.
"We can leave an hour later, get there an hour earlier."
Some international bridges will open an hour earlier than normal (5 a.m. instead of 6 a.m.) to coordinate with Mexican customs operations.
Mexican consulate officials said people on both sides of the border will have to pay attention to flight schedules and other times that involve businesses in both countries. |
