About America/Miquelon
America/Miquelon is the IANA time zone for Saint Pierre and Miquelon. It currently keeps UTC−3 in winter and UTC−2 in summer.
Its principal location is Miquelon at 47.05° N, 56.33° W.
Rule for future years (POSIX TZ string)
<-03>3<-02>,M3.2.0,M11.1.0
The standard time is called “-03” (a numeric abbreviation) and is UTC−3. POSIX writes the offset with the opposite sign (west of Greenwich is positive), which is why the string says "3". Daylight saving time is called “-02” (a numeric abbreviation) and is UTC−2. It starts on the second Sunday of March at 02:00 and ends on the first Sunday of November at 02:00, local time. Software that has no full tzdata copy, such as many embedded devices, can use this string directly as the TZ environment variable.
