# Gwillim Law writes that a good source
|
|
|
39 |
# for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport
|
|
|
40 |
# Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM),
|

41 |
# published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries

42 |
# of the IATA's data after 1990.
|
|
|
43 |
#
|
|
|
44 |
# Except where otherwise noted, Shanks & Pottenger is the source for
|

# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.

# Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT
|
|
|
59 |
# for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively,
|
|
|
60 |
# but Mark R V Murray reports that
|
|
26452
|
61 |
# 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa,
|
|
|
62 |
# 'CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and
|
|
|
63 |
# 'WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for
|
|
|
64 |
# the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa".
|
|
|
65 |
# He has heard of "Western Sahara Time" for +0:00 but can find no reference.

67 |
# To make things confusing, 'WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
|
|
2
|
68 |
# I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00,
|
|
|
69 |
# and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00.
|
|
|
70 |
# This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African
|
|
|
71 |
# mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara.
|
|
|
72 |
#
|
|
|
73 |
# To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency:
|
|
|
74 |
# -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used)
|
|
|
75 |
# 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time
|
|
|
76 |
# 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time
|
|
|
77 |
# 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time
|
|
|
78 |
# and Murray suggests the following abbreviation:
|
|
|
79 |
# 1:00 WAT West Africa Time
|
|
26452
|
80 |
# I realize that this leads to 'WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
|
|
2
|
81 |
# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
|
|
|
82 |
# until we get more information.

# From Abdelrahman Hassan (2007-09-06):
|
|
|
274 |
# Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter
|
|
|
275 |
# than the year of the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan shifts earlier each
|
|
|
276 |
# year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite
|
|
|
277 |
# hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by
|
|
|
278 |
# shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently,
|
|
|
279 |
# unless discontinued, next DST may end Thursday 28 August 2008.
|
|

280 |

# From Arthur David Olson (2009-03-18):
|
|
|
1189 |
# The Tunis Afrique Presse News Agency notice contains this: "This measure is
|
|
|
1190 |
# due to the fact that the fasting month of Ramadan coincides with the period
|
|
|
1191 |
# concerned by summer time. Therefore, the standard time will be kept
|
|
|
1192 |
# unchanged the whole year long." So foregoing DST seems to be an exception
|
|
|
1193 |
# (albeit one that may be repeated in the future).

# From Alexander Krivenyshev (2010-03-27):
|
|
|
1196 |
# According to some news reports Tunis confirmed not to use DST in 2010
|
|
|
1197 |
#
|
|
|
1198 |
# (translation):
|
|
|
1199 |
# "The Tunisian government has decided to abandon DST, which was scheduled on
|
|
|
1200 |
# Sunday...
|
|
|
1201 |
# Tunisian authorities had suspended the DST for the first time last year also
|
|
|
1202 |
# coincided with the month of Ramadan..."
