From Tim Parenti (2024-07-01): For the Azores and Madeira, legislation was followed from the laws currently in force as listed at: https://oal.ul.pt/hora-legal/legislacao/ working backward through references of revocation and abrogation to Decreto-Lei 47233 of 1966-10-01, the last time DST was abolished across the mainland and its adjacent islands. From Tim Parenti (2026-05-26): Observance of DST on the Azores and Madeira was explicitly covered by mainland legislation in: - Portaria 11767 of 1947-03-28 for 1947, - Portaria 12286 of 1948-02-19 for 1948, and - Decreto-Lei 37048 of 1948-09-07 through its revocation in 1966. (See mainland commentary, above.) However, most legislation prior to 1947 didn't explicitly call out these "adjacent islands", so we assume that DST rules on the islands prior to 1947 were also like that of the mainland.
