This weekend Americans and Canadians will “fall back,” turning their clocks back an hour to end Daylight Saving Time for another year. The U.S. and Canada are two countries out of dozens around the world that switch their clocks back and forth during the year to save energy and maximize sunlight. But which places don’t observe this practice? Below are a few you might want to visit.
President Vladimir Putin moved Russia from year-round “summer time” to year-round “winter time” in 2014.
Hawaii is one of two U.S. states that do not observe Daylight Saving Time. The other is Arizona (with the exception of the Navajo Nation).
Like most African nations, Madagascar does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
South Korea hasn’t observed Daylight Saving Time since the 1980s, according to historical info at TimeandDate.com.
Most of the world’s major industrialized nations observe Daylight Saving Time, but India is a prominent exception.
Peru hasn’t observed Daylight Saving Time since a couple of separate years in the 1990s, according to TimeandDate.com.
