Daylight saving time (DST) by country, showing usage and some history by country.

Most areas of North America and Europe observe daylight saving time (DST), while most areas of Africa and Asia do not. In South America most countries in the north of the continent near the equator do not observe DST, while Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay and southern parts of Brazil do. Oceania is also mixed, with New Zealand and parts of southern Australia observing DST, while most other areas do not.

S - Southern Summer, N - Northern Summer This table is lacking, having many uses of "EU-Rule" without specifying what that rule is.
