Brazil postpones summer time two more weeks

The postponement comes at the request of the Ministry of Education, in an effort to avoid clock change on the night before the national high school examination on 4 November. (We wonder how many students will show up one hour early for the test, as a result of mobile phones showing the wrong time.)

The start date had already been postponed two weeks in a decision last year.

Brazil has four time zones. Daylight Saving Time is observed in two of them.

Update: The government changed their mind, and the summer time start date is now 4 November, 2018.
