8cb73418 | 11 | # From Paul Eggert (2018-05-27): |
984263bc | 12 | # |
03b0b587 | 13 | # Unless otherwise specified, the source for data through 1990 is: |
bd7414aa SW |
14 | # Thomas G. Shanks and Rique Pottenger, The International Atlas (6th edition), |
15 | # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (2003). | |
03b0b587 | 16 | # Unfortunately this book contains many errors and cites no sources. |
984263bc | 17 | # |
83b0991f SW |
18 | # Many years ago Gwillim Law wrote that a good source |
19 | # for time zone data was the International Air Transport | |
984263bc MD |
20 | # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), |
21 | # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries | |
03b0b587 SW |
22 | # of the IATA's data after 1990. Except where otherwise noted, |
23 | # IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990. | |
984263bc MD |
24 | # |
25 | # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences, | |
26 | # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which | |
27 | # I found in the UCLA library. | |
28 | # | |
80e7e01d | 29 | # For data circa 1899, a common source is: |
48afb8ac | 30 | # Milne J. Civil time. Geogr J. 1899 Feb;13(2):173-94. |

33 | # European-style abbreviations are commonly used along the Mediterranean. |
34 | # For sub-Saharan Africa abbreviations were less standardized. | |
984263bc | 35 | # Previous editions of this database used WAT, CAT, SAT, and EAT |
83b0991f SW |
36 | # for UT +00 through +03, respectively, |
37 | # but in 1997 Mark R V Murray reported that | |
38 | # 'SAST' is the official abbreviation for +02 in the country of South Africa, | |
39 | # 'CAT' is commonly used for +02 in countries north of South Africa, and | |
40 | # 'WAT' is probably the best name for +01, as the common phrase for | |
48afb8ac | 41 | # the area that includes Nigeria is "West Africa". |
984263bc | 42 | # |
83b0991f SW |
43 | # To summarize, the following abbreviations seemed to have some currency: |
44 | # +00 GMT Greenwich Mean Time | |
45 | # +02 CAT Central Africa Time | |
46 | # +02 SAST South Africa Standard Time | |
47 | # and Murray suggested the following abbreviation: | |
48 | # +01 WAT West Africa Time | |
49 | # Murray's suggestion seems to have caught on in news reports and the like. | |
50 | # I vaguely recall 'WAT' also being used for -01 in the past but | |
51 | # cannot now come up with solid citations. | |
984263bc | 52 | # |
8cb73418 SW |
53 | # I invented the following abbreviations in the 1990s: |
54 | # +02 WAST West Africa Summer Time | |
55 | # +03 CAST Central Africa Summer Time | |
56 | # +03 SAST South Africa Summer Time | |
83b0991f | 57 | # +03 EAT East Africa Time |
8cb73418 SW |
58 | # 'EAT' seems to have caught on and is in current timestamps, and though |
59 | # the other abbreviations are rarer and are only in past timestamps, | |
60 | # they are paired with better-attested non-DST abbreviations. | |
61 | # Corrections are welcome. | |

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

884 | # From Milamber (2020-05-31) |
885 | # In Morocco (where I live), the end of Ramadan (Arabic month) is followed by | |
886 | # the Eid al-Fitr, and concretely it's 1 or 2 day offs for the people (with | |
887 | # traditional visiting of family, big lunches/dinners, etc.). So for this | |
888 | # year the astronomical calculations don't include the following 2 days off in | |
889 | # the calc. These 2 days fall in a Sunday/Monday, so it's not acceptable by | |
890 | # people to have a time shift during these 2 days off. Perhaps you can modify | |
891 | # the (predicted) rules for next years: if the end of Ramadan is a (probable) | |
892 | # Friday or Saturday (and so the 2 days off are on a weekend), the next time | |
893 | # shift will be the next weekend. | |
894 | # | |
895 | # From Paul Eggert (2020-05-31): | |
9e66d691 SW |
896 | # For now, guess that in the future Morocco will fall back at 03:00 |
897 | # the last Sunday before Ramadan, and spring forward at 02:00 the | |
b858e488 SW |
898 | # first Sunday after two days after Ramadan. To implement this, |
899 | # transition dates and times for 2019 through 2087 were determined by | |
900 | # running the following program under GNU Emacs 26.3. (This algorithm | |
901 | # also produces the correct transition dates for 2016 through 2018, | |
