For various reasons, in several entities of the country the time will not modify. Make sure if you should advance the time this weekend
Friday, April 1, 2022 5:00 p.m.
This Sunday, April 3, the 2022 Summer Time must be produced in a large part of the country, so this day the clocks must be advanced one hour, however, you must be sure to make this modification, since there are regions in which said measurement is not done, so it is important to know which states must change the time during the weekend.
According to the National Metrology Center (CENAM) and with the Time System Law in the United Mexican States. Four time zones are use in Mexican territory, officially called Southeast Time, Central Time, Pacific Time and Northwest Time.
Thus, despite the fact that Summer Time will be applied in almost the entire country, there are exceptions, since in the border states of Baja California, Chihuahua, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas this modification was already made on March 12.
In addition, it must remember that Sonora and Quintana Roo have a single time zone throughout the year. This is because the northern border state maintains its high temperatures. The southern state must match the standard of other destinations. Caribbean resorts that compete with the Riviera Maya.
Due to this variety of schedules that can cause confusion, and that there are no official figures on the amount of money that is saved with the schedule change , deputies are already considering removing this measure. It has been announced that it will be on Monday, April 4, after the implementation of the new schedule, when in San Lázaro it is reviewed and analyzed if it is necessary to continue with the Summer Schedule for the coming years.
In these states they must change the time on Sunday, April 3
While discussing whether to remove Summer Time , this Sunday, April 3, the time must be changed in these states :
- Aguascalientes
- Campeche
- Chiapas
- Mexico City
- Coahuila

Thus, all these states will have to advance one hour this Sunday, April 3 , so to avoid inconveniences, it is recommended to do this action during the night of Saturday, April 2, before going to sleep.
Daylight saving time Is the clock moving forward or backward?
The implementation of daylight saving time seeks to make a contribution in favor of the planet.
With the spring solstice, in the northern hemisphere , the days begin to get longer and a greater number of daylight hours are produced. For this reason, since 1996 summer time has been implemented in Mexico , which will begin on April 3, 2022.
The idea from the beginning is to take advantage of the extra hours of sunlight.For this reason, more than 140 countries have implemented it, although some have already abandoned it, as could happen with Mexico .
Behind this strategy coexists a double intention. The first is economic – since the countries presumably save a lot of money with the lower consumption of electricity during this period. The other is in favor of the planet, because with this fewer natural resources are used than are required to generate that electrical energy.
