Time in Africa

From HandWiki
Short description: Time zones used in Africa

Template:Infobox time zone continent Africa, the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent, spans across six different time zone offsets from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC): 00 to 00.[1][2] As Africa straddles the equator and tropics, there is little change in daylight hours throughout the year[3] and as such daylight saving time is currently observed in only one country, Morocco, however it was also previously observed in several other countries.[4][5]

Before the wide adoption of standard time zones, local mean time was widely used in railway time for train timetables and telegraphic time for telegraphy.[6] Local mean time is a solar time that corrects the variations of local apparent time by forming a uniform time scale at a specific longitude;[7] for instance, Liberia observed UTC-0:44:30 instead of an approximate offset such as UTC-01:00.[8] British Rhodesia (at the time administered by the private British South Africa Company) was the first area in Africa to adopt standard time, switching to 30 on 1 August 1899 as the previous time standards proved problematic for the railway system.[9] Other countries followed suit, and by 1912, most Portuguese,[10] French and British territories had adopted a standard offset.[11] Liberia was the last country in Africa to adopt a standard offset, doing so on 7 January 1972.[12]

Names for the offsets vary by country and jurisdiction:[2] in Africa, 00 is commonly known as "West Africa Time", however Algeria,[13] Morocco and Tunisia[14] designate the offset by its European name, "Central European Time"; 00 – commonly known as "Central Africa Time" – is designated as "South African Standard Time" by Eswatini, Lesotho and South Africa,[15] whilst Egypt[16] and Libya[17] designate it by its European name "Eastern European Time". Cape Verde is the only country in Africa which observes UTC-01:00, where it is known as Cape Verde Time (CVT); thirteen countries observe 00, fourteen[lower-alpha 1] observe UTC+01:00, sixteen[lower-alpha 1] observe UTC+02:00, nine observe 00, and two (Mauritius and Seychelles) observe UTC+04:00, where the offset is designated as Mauritius Time (MUT)[18] and Seychelles Time (SCT)[19] respectively.[2]

History

Before the wide adoption of standard time zones, local mean time, which is a solar time that corrects the variations of local apparent time by forming a uniform time scale at a specific longitude,[7] such as railway time for train timetables and telegraphic time for telegraphy, was widely used.[6] Due to the large size of the British company rule in Rhodesia, it meant Rhodesia observed three standards of time: UTC+01:30, +2:15 and +2:30; this was problematic for the railway system, so on 1 August 1899 the standard time zones UTC+02:30 was adopted nationwide,[9] consequently resulting in this being the first standard time in Africa. This would soon be followed by Egypt, which adopted standard time on 1 October 1900;[20][21] Nigeria adopted standard time on 1 July 1905,[22] Seychelles in 1906,[23] Mauritius on 1 January 1907,[20] Togo in 1907,[11] Algeria on 11 March 1911[8] and Tunisia on 12 April 1911.[20] Most Portuguese territories (including Cape Verde and Mozambique) adopted standard time on 26 May 1911,[10] followed by most remaining French and British territories on 1 July 1911 and 1 January 1912.[20][24] The Gambia adopted standard time in 1918.[25] Liberia was the last country in Africa to adopt a standard offset, doing so on 7 January 1972.[12] The latest time change was South Sudan, which switched from UTC+3 to +2 on 1 February 2021.[26]

Daylight saving time

As Africa straddles the equator and tropics, there is little change in daylight hours throughout the year[3] and as such daylight saving time (DST) is currently observed in only one country, Morocco, however it was also previously observed in several other countries: the countries that formerly observed DST are South Africa, which last observed it in 1944,[27] Cape Verde in 1945,[28] Madagascar in 1954,[28] Ghana in 1956,[29] Sierra Leone in 1962,[30] Algeria and Chad in 1980,[8] Sudan in 1985,[8] Tunisia in 2008,[31] Mauritius in 2009,[28] Libya in 2012,[32][33] Egypt in 2015,[34] and Namibia in 2017.[35] Since 2019,[36] Morocco has observed UTC+01:00 year round except during the month of Ramadan, when it switches to UTC±00:00 as to not interfere with the month's fasting (sawm).[37][38]
