Morocco extends DST to last a month longer

The government of Morocco has extended daylight saving time until Sunday 27 October 2013. It announced the change only one day before the clocks were due to go back.^[1]

It also announced a new schedule for the coming years: daylight saving time will begin at 02:00 on the last Sunday of March and end at 03:00 on the last Sunday of October.^[1]

Morocco has already moved to daylight saving time (DST) twice this year: first on 28 April, until the start of Ramadan. During the holy month of Ramadan the country kept standard time, and right after it the clocks went forward again.^[1]

This second period of daylight saving time will now last until 03:00 on Sunday 27 October 2013.

Update, 26 October 2026: Morocco followed this rule, with a break for Ramadan each year, until 2018. From 28 October 2018 it kept UTC+1 all year except during Ramadan,^[1][2] and on 20 September 2026 it went back to UTC+0 for good, so its clocks no longer change at all.^[3]
