What is Uruguay Summer Time (UYST)?
Uruguay Summer Time (UYST) is the daylight saving time zone historically observed by Uruguay. When summer time was active, the country shifted its clocks 1 hour forward, placing it at 2 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-2:00).
While Uruguay officially abolished the use of daylight saving time in 2015 and now observes standard Uruguay Time (UYT / UTC-3:00) year-round, this specific tool is designed to track the UYST (UTC-2:00) offset perfectly. This ensures you have access to the accurate 1-hour advanced time for specific tracking requirements.
