message: Baja California Sur is not Pacific Time like Baja California? It would make sense if the entire Baja California Peninsula uses Pacific Time   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.138.9.30 (talk) 00:50, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

message: What exactly is meant by "island territories"?  Surely not every Mexican island ignores DST, as the link seems to imply.  --Lasunncty (talk) 20:20, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Islands not observing DST

message: The United States changes on the second Sunday in March, Mexico on the first Sunday of April.
The second Sunday of March can be March 8 to 14.
Second Sunday of March (A)	A + 21 days	A + 28 days
8 March                   	29 March   	5 April
9 March                   	30 March   	6 April
10 March                  	31 March   	7 April
11 March                  	1 April    	8 April
12 March                  	2 April    	9 April
13 March                  	3 April    	10 April
14 March                  	4 April    	11 April
So if the United States changes on 8, 9, or 10 March, Mexico changes four weeks later. If the United States changes on 11, 12, 13, or 14 March, Mexico changes three weeks later. Indefatigable (talk) 22:26, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  official time in México 

message: This article is out of sync with the Spanish-language Wikipedia, which states that "by decree" municipalities bordering the USA Daylight Saving Time begins the second Sunday in March and ends the first Sunday in November (Por decreto del Congreso de la Unión, en varios municipios fronterizos con los Estados Unidos el horario de verano inicia el segundo domingo de marzo y finaliza el primer domingo de noviembre )
Please, let's not confuse our users with outdated information. --Uncle Ed (talk) 18:23, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Found another complication (see ). Looks like there's an "exception" area in the state of Nayarit that follows Centro time, though most of Nayarit is Pacífico. (I'll use the Mexican/Spanish names to avoid confusion between their "Pacific"—which is same as US/Canada "Mountain"—and US/Canada "Pacific".)  And, it also looks like Baja California is split in 2 parts, I assume by the dates they switch to/from daylight time.  If so, that's something else that's wrong in the article, since currently it says the entire state switches on the same dates as the US.  Anyway, I'm not making any edits right now, but I'll keep digging and try to get a handle on it. --LarryJeff (talk) 22:05, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Please do not call Mexican time zones "equivalent" to US time zones. DST goes in effect at different moments than the US in all time zones, but there are regions (those bordering the US) that *do* go at the same time. So, there are time zones that are, indeed, equivalent of the US time zones, but in most of Mexico this is just not the case. Alvarezp (talk) 16:26, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use of the word "equivalent" 

message: In the box below the map, the right-hand column makes no sense.
1) Mexico is part of North America, not Central America.
2) The zones aren't equivalent to US time zones, because DST starts on different dates.
