-# For now, guess that Fiji springs forward the Sunday before the fourth
-# Monday in October, and springs back the penultimate Sunday in January.
-# This is ad hoc, but matches recent practice.

+# For now, guess DST from 02:00 the first Sunday in November to
+# 03:00 the first Sunday on or after January 18. Although ad hoc, it
+# matches this year's plan and seems more likely to match future
