# From Paul Eggert (2019-08-06):
# Today Raymond Kumar reported the Government of Fiji Gazette Supplement No. 27
# (2019-08-02) said that Fiji observes DST "commencing at 2.00 am on
# Sunday, 10 November 2019 and ending at 3.00 am on Sunday, 12 January 2020."
# For now, guess DST from 02:00 the second Sunday in November to 03:00
# the first Sunday on or after January 12. January transitions reportedly
# depend on when school terms start. Although the guess is ad hoc, it matches
# transitions since late 2014 and seems more likely to match future
# practice than guessing no DST.
# transitions planned this year and seems more likely to match future practice
