Time in Uruguay
Uruguay is located at a longitude appropriate for a UTC−4 time zone offset, but it actually uses a UTC−3 offset. Uruguay used to observe daylight saving time (UTC−2) from October till March.[1] On 30 June 2015, the Uruguayan government decided to abolish DST, establishing the UTC−3 timezone all year round.[2] The term "UYT" is used in and out of the country to convey specific Uruguay time.[3]
