Daylight Saving Time for Southern Hemisphere
For calculating the localtime offset, winter_time should be used, to prevent using daylight saving time. The date 2000-01-01 is hard coded for this, but this results in daylight saving time for the southern hemisphere. (Bug reported by Harrison)
Possible solutions:
-
Case dependent winter date
winter_date = 2000-01-01 for lat > 0
winter_date = 2000-06-01 for lat < 0 -
Use first date of measurements
This probably causes problems with calculating the local noon and when running long-time datasets.
How are measurements handled when they are recorded in daylight-saving time?
