Various countries change in and out of daylight saving time on
different dates. For instance, almost all of Europe now changes on the
last Sunday of March and back again on the last Sunday of October.

Chema: the UK and the rest of the EU have synched their DST switches
several years ago.

If you want to get a good idea of when various countries or regions
switch to DST, if they do so at all, and what time differences they
use, I suggest having a look at the excellent 'timepiece' for your
Windows-PC called 'World Time' available free from www.pawprint.net.

This program allows you to put a customizable bar of clocks from
around the world on your screen, sync your PC to NTP or datetime
sources and has an extensive database of world cities, their locations
(longitude/latitude) and their DST times to go with it.

I use this to keep track of the time of the people I'm chatting with
when I'm on IRC.
