Morocco's daylight saving time schedule for 2013

Morocco will switch to daylight saving time (DST) on Sunday 28 April 2013, Minister of Public Service Abdeladim El Guerrouj has announced. At 02:00 the clocks go forward one hour to 03:00.^[1]

As last year, Ramadan falls in the summer, so the clocks will go back to standard time for the month of Ramadan, to make each day's fast end earlier. The clocks go back one hour at 03:00 on Tuesday 9 July 2013, at the start of Ramadan.

Ramadan ends on Wednesday 7 August 2013, and the clocks go forward one hour again at 02:00 on Thursday 8 August 2013.

Daylight saving time will end at 03:00 on Sunday 29 September 2013, when the clocks go back one hour.^[1]

Update, 26 October 2026: The plan changed twice. The Ramadan pause came two days earlier, from 7 July to 10 August 2013 (see Morocco's DST change for Ramadan 2 days earlier), and summer time was extended to 27 October 2013 (see Morocco extends DST to last a month longer).^[1] Since 20 September 2026, Morocco keeps UTC+0 all year and no longer changes its clocks.^[2] See also: Morocco's daylight saving time schedule for 2012.
