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))
