Daylight Saving Time

The Bureau of Meteorology does not have responsibility for managing Daylight Saving Time. This is a State responsibility and you should contact the relevant State Government authority (which can vary between States) for the latest information. The following table is provided for the benefit of climate data users, since the implementation of daylight saving time can have some effect on weather observations.

In all the cases listed in the table below the change to Daylight Saving Time took place at 0200 Local Standard Time on the day concerned, and from Daylight Saving Time to standard time at 0300.
