Chile's Official Time Change
Chile Moves to Standard Time
Time Changed Back One Hour on Sunday, April 7
Chile transitioned to standard time at 00:00 AM on Sunday, April 7, 2023. The change involved setting clocks back one hour, aligning the country with the time zone of New York City (UTC -3).
This adjustment affects all of Chile, including the Easter Island region. With the change, Chile now has three time zones: Chile Standard Time (CLT), which is now the same time as New York City, Chile Daylight Time (CLDT), and the Easter Island time zone.
Chile's standard time is one hour behind its previous daylight time observation, aligning the country with the time zones of neighboring countries such as Argentina and Brazil. The change to standard time typically occurs during the fall or winter months to conserve energy and reduce the use of artificial lighting.
