# tzdb data for Africa and environs
|
|
|
|
# This file is in the public domain, so clarified as of
|
|
# 2009-05-17 by Arthur David Olson.
|
|
|
|
# This file is by no means authoritative; if you think you know better,
|
|
# go ahead and edit the file (and please send any changes to
|
|
# tz@iana.org for general use in the future). For more, please see
|
|
# the file CONTRIBUTING in the tz distribution.
|
|
|
|
# From Paul Eggert (2018-05-27):
|
|
#
|
|
# Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is:
|
|
# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),
|
|
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
|
|
# Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources.
|
|
#
|
|
# Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source
|
|
# for time zone data was 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,
|
|
# IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990.
|
|
#
|
|
# 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.
|
|
#
|
|
# For data circa 1899, a common source is:
|
|
# Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94.
|
|
# https://www.jstor.org/stable/1774359
|
|
#
|
|
# A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is
|
|
# Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997).
|
|
#
|
|
# European-style abbreviations are commonly used along the Mediterranean.
|
|
# For sub-Saharan Africa abbreviations were less standardized.
|
|
# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
|
|
# for UT +00 through +03, respectively,
|
|
# but in 1997 Mark R V Murray reported that
|
|
# 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +02 in the country of South Africa,
|
|
# 'CAT' is commonly used for +02 in countries north of South Africa, and
|
|
# 'WAT' is probably the best name for +01, as the common phrase for
|
|
# the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa".
|
|
#
|
|
# To summarize, the following abbreviations seemed to have some currency:
|
|
# +00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
|
|
# +02 CAT Central Africa Time
|
|
# +02 SAST South Africa Standard Time
|
|
# and Murray suggested the following abbreviation:
|
|
# +01 WAT West Africa Time
|
|
# Murray's suggestion seems to have caught on in news reports and the like.
|
|
# I vaguely recall 'WAT' also being used for -01 in the past but
|
|
# cannot now come up with solid citations.
|
|
#
|
|
# I invented the following abbreviations in the 1990s:
|
|
# +02 WAST West Africa Summer Time
|
|
# +03 CAST Central Africa Summer Time
|
|
# +03 SAST South Africa Summer Time
|
|
# +03 EAT East Africa Time
|
|
# 'EAT' seems to have caught on and is in current timestamps, and though
|
|
# the other abbreviations are rarer and are only in past timestamps,
|
|
# they are paired with better-attested non-DST abbreviations.
|
|
# Corrections are welcome.

# 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.

# (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier

|
#
|
|
# 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

|
# changes two days later.
