Europe will turn forward the clocks in less than 7 weeks from now. Rusia did fall back on Oct 26th last year and will NOT do spring forward!!! Which is good considering the huge anomalies caused by extremely biased timezones of DST.
Map of timezone anomalies as of Jan 2014, when Russia adopted year round DST. Siberian winter : brutal temp combined with brutal sunrise time given its latitude.
[*]Due to time zone effects and the extreme length of summer days at arctic latitudes, days in Reykjavik have their sunset the following day (after midnight). This results, technically, in days having their sunset before their sunrise. For example, on June 21, sunset is at 12:04am, and sunrise at 2:55am.
Apparently that causes sunshine duration recording error/bug for weatheronline forecasts... Fairbanks example with post midnight sunset times due to wrong timezone
Negative sunshine hours!!!

With that proposal, Attu's solar noon would range from 4:10 to 4:41 pm (16:10 to 16:41)
Latest sunrise would be at 12:40 in late December. Yes, 40 minutes after clock noon, almost 14 degrees south of Arctic Circle!
Latest sunset would be at 00:56 (almost 1 am), late June. With civil twilight until 01:48 (nearly 2 am)!
Earliest sunset would be at 8:10 pm (20:10), civil twilight until almost 9pm (8:52 pm to be exact!) Earliest sunrise would be at 8:00 am, with civil dawn at 7:09 am

Van Horn, TX despite being at 105°W, which should be the geographic median of Mountain Time (GMT -7/-6 DT), is in fact in Central Time (GMT -6/-5 DT), so their late sunset is at 9:07pm and early sunrise is at 6:55am; while their early sunset is at 5:56pm and their late sunrise is at 8:18am; all despite being at 31°N latitude
