# A good source for time zone historical data outside the U.S. is

35 |
# Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition),

|
|
36 |
# San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003).
|
|
|
37 |
#
|
|
|
38 |
# 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
|
|
|
45 |
# entries through 1990, and IATA SSIM is the source for entries afterwards.
|
|
|
46 |
#
|
|

47 |
# Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences,
|
|
|
48 |
# Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which

# 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
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
66 |
#
|
|
|
67 |
# To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago;
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
80 |
# I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00
|
|
|
81 |
# for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of
|
|
|
82 |
# until we get more information.
|
|
|
83 |
#
|
|
|
84 |
# I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome!

281 |
# From Abdelrahman Hassan (2007-09-06):
|
|
|
282 |
# Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter
|
|
|
283 |
# than the year of the Gregorian calendar, Ramadan shifts earlier each
|
|
|
284 |
# year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite
|
|
|
285 |
# hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by
|
|
|
286 |
# shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently,
|
|
|
287 |
# unless discontinued, next DST may end Thursday 28 August 2008.
|
|
|
288 |
# From Paul Eggert (2007-08-17):

# For lack of better info, assume the new rule is last Thursday in August.
