Time in Uruguay
Uruguay is located at a longitude that would naturally put it in the UTC−4 time zone, but it actually uses the UTC−3 time zone. 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, starting on December 2015.[2] The term "UYT" is used in and out of the country to convey specific Uruguay time.[3]
