According to
http://www.answers.com/topic/daylight-saving-time
on 2006 Mar 25
In 1987 federal legislation fixed the period of daylight saving
time in the United States as the first Sunday (previously the last
Sunday) in April to the last Sunday in October; it was expanded in
2005 (effective 2007) to extend from the second Sunday in March to
the first Sunday in November. Arizona, Hawaii, and sections of
Indiana do not use daylight saving time.
Thus, if you are in the US, in your .emacs file, put the following:
;; effective 2007, in the US, daylight saving time extends from
;; the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November.
;; In 2007, daylight time begins on March 11 and ends on November 4.
;; In 2008, daylight time begins on March 9 and ends on November 2.
;; second Sunday in March
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-starts '(calendar-nth-named-day 2 0 3 year))
;; first Sunday in November
(setq calendar-daylight-savings-ends '(calendar-nth-named-day 1 0 11 year))
