Template:Daylight saving active/sandbox
0
 | This is the template sandbox page for Template:Daylight saving active (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases. |
This template returns either 0 or 1 to indicate if daylight saving time (DST) is active in the given time zone region:
| 0 | DST is not active |
| 1 | DST is active |
See below for the currently supported time zones. Note that if DST is only partially observed in a certain time zone, this template returns 1 if DST is active in that part (even though it is not observed/active in the other part).
During DST, the clock is set one hour ahead of standard time.
Usage

| String | suggested |
