Across the EU Daylight Savings Time is standardised as starting on the last Sunday in March and ending on the last Sunday in October - which is also followed by Greenland and many former Soviet states in eastern Europe. But across the world daylight savings time vary widely - with countries near the equator such as Kenya not observing it at all, given the minimal difference in daylight hours throughout the year. Countries in the southern hemisphere observe it over the last few months of the year as it is their summer - for instance Daylight Savings Time in Australia starts on the first Sunday in October. Daylight Savings Time is also not observed in Arizona except for the Native American Navajo Nation - which straddles three different states.
