Zomertijd

in Egypte is het nu even laat als in Nederland omdat de zomertijd NOG NIET is ingegaan. Volgens deze site: Current Local Time in Cairo, Egypt gebeurt dat wel in de nacht van 29-30 april. Wintertijd gaat weer in op 5-6 augustus (omdat de Ramadan ongeveer 11 augustus begint).

Egypt

The British first instituted daylight saving time in Egypt during the Second World War, specifically between 1940 and 1945. The practice was stopped after the war, but resumed 12 years later, in 1957. Egypt normally observes daylight saving time between the last Thursday in April and the last Thursday in September when the clocks are three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+3). The change is at midnight (local time); i.e. on the last Thursday of April, one second after 23:59:59 becomes 1:00:00 on Friday. Daylight saving time ends on the last Thursday of September; on that Thursday, one second after 23:59:59 becomes 23:00:00. The date does not change when the first 00:00 midnight occurs; for all practical purposes, midnight does not occur until after the second 23:59:59. An exception is made for Ramadan; in 2006 the end of DST took place one week earlier, on September 21, 2006, to take place before the start of the holy month of Ramadan. This has continued in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
