Nunes On October 26, the Mexican Senate announced that they have approved a law to eliminate Daylight Saving Time (DST) in Mexico from October 30. The law excludes areas on Mexico's northern border with the United States; these locations will continue to follow the same DST schedule as the US. No DST in Most of Mexico The new law means that most of Mexico will set their clocks back 1 hour from 02:00 (2:00 am) to 01:00 (1:00 am) on Sunday, October 30, 2022, and remain there. The clocks will not be turned forward for DST in spring 2023. Mexico clock change in detail Northern Border Locations Still Use DST The state of Baja California, and many other locations close to the country's northern border, follow the DST schedule of the United States. The DST period starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. These states will remain on the same schedule as the US and continue observing DST. Here, the clocks are turned back 1 hour from 02:00 (2:00 am) to 01:00 (1:00 am) on Sunday, November 6, 2022. As DST starts on March 12 in the US, so will DST start in Mexico's northern border areas. No DST in Sonora and Quintana Roo The state of Sonora does not change its clocks. The rationale is to stay in sync with the neighboring US state of Arizona, where Mountain Standard Time (MST) is observed all year. Quintana Roo has opted out of following the country's DST regime--establishing its own time zone in 2015--meaning Mexico's easternmost state is observing EST year-round. Time Zones in Mexico Mexico has four standard time zones: * Central Standard Time: includes central and most of the eastern parts of the country, including its capital Mexico City, known as Zona Centro. * Mountain Standard Time: covers most of western Mexico, including the states of Baja California Sur, Chihuahua, Nayarit, Sinaloa, and Sonora, known as Zona Pacifico. * Pacific Standard Time: the state of Baja California, bordering California and the Pacific Ocean, known as Zona Noroeste. * Eastern Standard Time: observed in Quintana Roo, Mexico's easternmost state, known as Zona Sureste.
