No we don't stay on central time all year round.

Sometimes we are on central time and sometimes we are on mountain time.

But of course technically WE stay on Belize time and the US observes day light savings.

Belize time doesn't change just some of the tv viewing requires some adjustments.

I said you are wrong if you think that Belize time and central time are the same year round Ernie B.

Belize Time Zone, GMT -6 = Central Time Zone. Your last sentence states " Belize time doesnt change"

Why am I confused ?

Did you know that the UK also observes day light savings?

Trust me on this one Ernie Belize time does not change. The clocks are not brought forward or moved back ever therefore our time does not change. Some of the nations nearby by such as Mexico and US move their clocks back and forth each year but we don't.

As of this weekend, Belize is 1 hour behind Central Time and 2 hours behind Eastern Time. That would mean we are currently the same as Mountain Time, no?

"Standard" time does not change. That's the reason for the name "standard".

There is Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time.
They are not the same.

Belize is on Central STANDARD Time.

Some of the regions of Canada and the USA that were on CST are now on Central DAYLIGHT Time.
CDT = CST + 1h

Similarly, some of the regions that were on Eastern STANDARD Time are now on Eastern DAYLIGHT Time, and some of the regions that were on Mountain STANDARD Time are now on Mountain DAYLIGHT Time.

Belize doesn't utilize daylight saving time, so we didn't change our clocks, therefore we're still on CST.

On 27 March, Britain will begin daylight saving time and will be known as British Summer Time (BST). GMT does not change, so Britain will be GMT+1h or UTC+1h.

Hmm it just dawned on me - did the time change in the US? Is that what this is all about?

Better confer with my tv guide on this one.

Yes, Amanda, most of Canada and the USA switched to daylight saving time on Sunday. Most of Mexico will switch on 3 April. I say "most of" because there are always some places that don't change.

But you have called others wrong and made a few inaccurate statements...

"No we don't stay on central time all year round."
In fact, Belize does stay on CST all year round, but we don't utilize CDT.

"Sometimes we are on central time and sometimes we are on mountain time"
We are never on MST, but you could say our time is the same as MDT.

"I said you are wrong if you think that Belize time and central time are the same year round Ernie B."
Belize time and CST are the same always.

Unless you go partying with Ernie, then it's GMT-$350 and I swear it's daylight losing time when I'm on AC -- maybe it's just me.

It's definitely beer-thirty someplace. That may be all you need to know if you're headed for a holiday on AC.
Enjoy!!
