Daylight Saving time In Baja California - 2010

Today, the last Sunday in October, daylight saving time fell back to Standard Time at 2:00 A.M. local time in Baja California and the rest of Mexico.

The Congress of Mexico passed legislation in December 2009 which allowed ten border municipios to adopt a daylight saving time pattern consistent with the United States. The municipalities which are now permitted by law to observe daylight saving time consistent with the United States are:

Municipality, State, neighboring U.S. city

Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila (Del Rio, Texas)

Anáhuac, Nuevo León (Laredo, Texas)

Juarez, Chihuahua (El Paso, Texas)

Matamoros, Tamaulipas (Brownsville, Texas)

Mexicali, Baja California (Calexico, California)

Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas (Laredo, Texas)

Ojinaga, Chihuahua (Presido, Texas)

Piedras Negras, Coahuila (Eagle Pass, Texas)

Reynosa, Tamaulipas (McAllen, Texas)

Tijuana, Baja California (San Ysidro, California)

The observation of daylight saving time for these ten municipalities began at 2:00 a.m. local time on the second Sunday in March, 2010. On the first Sunday in November, 2010, these areas will return to Standard Time at 2:00 a.m. local time.

Neither the American State of Arizona nor the Mexican state of Sonora observe Daylight Saving Time.
