Jordan will remain in summer time a second year in a row
The government of Jordan has announced that the country will stay on daylight saving time (DST) for another year. It was due to switch to standard time on Friday 25 October 2013.
In autumn 2012 the government decided not to switch from daylight saving time to standard time.[1] The experiment was meant to last one year; now it will last at least one more.
Jordan's standard time is Eastern European Time (EET), UTC+2, and its summer time is Eastern European Summer Time (EEST), UTC+3.
Because Jordan keeps summer time through the winter, it will stay on UTC+3 at least until autumn 2014.
Update, 26 October 2026: The second year did not last: after protests, Jordan went back to winter time (UTC+2) at midnight between 19 and 20 December 2013.[1] In 2022 it chose UTC+3 again, this time for good: since 28 October 2022, Jordan keeps UTC+3 all year.[2] See also: Jordan stays on summer time through winter 2012/2013.
