# This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of
|
|
# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson.

# This data is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,

|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22):
|
|
#
|
|
# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is
|
|
# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
|
|
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
|
|
#
|
|
# Gwillim Law writes that a good source
|
|
# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
|
|
# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
|
|
# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries
|
|
# of the IATA's data after 1990.
|
|
#
|
|
# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
|
|
# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
|
|
#
|
|
# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
|
|
# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which
|
|
# I found in the UCLA library.
|
|
#
|
|
# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
|
|
# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
|
|
#
|
|
# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
|
|
# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
|
|
# but Mark R V Murray reports that
|
|
# `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
|
|
# `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
|
|
# `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
|
|
# the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''.
|
|
# He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference.
|
|
#
|
|
# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
|
|
# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
|
|
# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
|
|
# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
|
|
# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
|
|
#
|
|
# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
|
|
# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used)
|
|
# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
|
|
# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time
|
|
# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time
|
|
# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
|
|
# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time
|
|
# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
|
|
# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
|
|
# until we get more information.
|
|
#
|
|
# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!
|
|
# 2:00 WAST West Africa Summer Time
|
|
# 2:30 BEAT British East Africa Time (no longer used)
|
|
# 2:45 BEAUT British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used)
|
|
# 3:00 CAST Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used)
|

# From Abdelrahman Hassan (2007-09-06):
|
|
# Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter
|
|
# than the year of the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan shifts earlier each
|
|
# year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite
|
|
# hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by
|
|
# shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently,
|
|
# unless discontinued, next DST may end Thursday 28 August 2008.

|
|
# The www.timeanddate.com article cited by Steffen Thorsen notes that "A

|
|
# would begin and end on these dates." As a place holder, use midnight.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2008-06-30):
|

# Follow Thorsen on DST in 1982/1983, instead of Shanks & Pottenger.

# </a>
|
|
# (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier
|
|
# than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31). The new start
|
|
# date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time
|
|
# given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time).
|
|
#
|
|
# A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date
|
|
# to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date,
|
|
# but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in
|
|
# USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder
|
|
# why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which
|
|
# changes two days later.

# From Alex Krivenyshev (2008-07-11):

# Seems that English language article "The revival of daylight saving

#
|
|
# I guess that article in French "Le gouvernement avance l'introduction
|
|
# de l'heure d'ete" stating that DST in Mauritius starting on October 26

# From Arthur David Olson (2009--3-18):
|
|
# The Tunis Afrique Presse News Agency notice contains this: "This measure is due to the fact
|
|
# that the fasting month of ramadan coincides with the period concerned by summer time.
|
|
# Therefore, the standard time will be kept unchanged the whole year long."
|
|
# So foregoing DST seems to be an exception (albeit one that may be repeated in the future).
|
|
|
|
# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-03-27):
|
|
# According to some news reports Tunis confirmed not to use DST in 2010
|
|
#
|
|
# (translation):
|
|
# "The Tunisian government has decided to abandon DST, which was scheduled on
|
|
# Sunday...
|
|
# Tunisian authorities had suspended the DST for the first time last year also
|
|
# coincided with the month of Ramadan..."
