31 |
|
32 # From Paul Eggert (2006-03-22): |
|
33 # |
|
34 # 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 |
|
49 # I found in the UCLA library. |
|
50 # |
|
51 # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is |
|
52 # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and longitude, Philip Wilson Publishers (1997). |
|
53 # |
|
54 # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT |
|
55 # for +0:00 through +3:00, respectively, |
|
56 # but Mark R V Murray reports that |
|
57 # `SAST' is the official abbreviation for +2:00 in the country of South Africa, |
|
58 # `CAT' is commonly used for +2:00 in countries north of South Africa, and |
|
59 # `WAT' is probably the best name for +1:00, as the common phrase for |
|
60 # the area that includes Nigeria is ``West Africa''. |
|
61 # He has heard of ``Western Sahara Time'' for +0:00 but can find no reference. |
|
62 # |
|
63 # To make things confusing, `WAT' seems to have been used for -1:00 long ago; |
|
64 # I'd guess that this was because people needed _some_ name for -1:00, |
|
65 # and at the time, far west Africa was the only major land area in -1:00. |
|
66 # This usage is now obsolete, as the last use of -1:00 on the African |
|
67 # mainland seems to have been 1976 in Western Sahara. |
|
68 # |
|
69 # To summarize, the following abbreviations seem to have some currency: |
|
70 # -1:00 WAT West Africa Time (no longer used) |
|
71 # 0:00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time |
|
72 # 2:00 CAT Central Africa Time |
|
73 # 2:00 SAST South Africa Standard Time |
|
74 # and Murray suggests the following abbreviation: |
|
75 # 1:00 WAT West Africa Time |
|
76 # I realize that this leads to `WAT' being used for both -1:00 and 1:00 |
|
77 # for times before 1976, but this is the best I can think of |
|
78 # until we get more information. |
|
79 # |
|
80 # I invented the following abbreviations; corrections are welcome! |
|
81 # 2:00 WAST West Africa Summer Time |
|
82 # 2:30 BEAT British East Africa Time (no longer used) |
|
83 # 2:45 BEAUT British East Africa Unified Time (no longer used) |
|
84 # 3:00 CAST Central Africa Summer Time (no longer used) |
|
85 # 3:00 SAST South Africa Summer Time (no longer used) |
|
86 # 3:00 EAT East Africa Time |

269 # Due to the Hijri (lunar Islamic calendar) year being 11 days shorter |

|
271 # year. This year it will be observed September 13 (September is quite |
|
272 # hot in Egypt), and the idea is to make fasting easier for workers by |
|
273 # shifting business hours one hour out of daytime heat. Consequently, |

|
527 # (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier |
|
528 # than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31). The new start |

529 # date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time |
|
530 # given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time). |
|
531 # |
|
532 # A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date |
|
533 # to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date, |
|
534 # but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in |
|
535 # USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder |

536 # why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which |

537 # changes two days later. |

1062 # <http://fr.news.yahoo.com/050426/5/4dumk.html>, in a story attributed to AP |
|
1063 # and dated 2005-04-26, "Tunisia has decided to advance its official time by |
|
1064 # one hour, starting on Sunday, May 1. Henceforth, Tunisian time will be |
|
1065 # UTC+2 instead of UTC+1. The change will take place at 23:00 UTC next |
