# Egypt will turn back clocks by one hour at the midnight of Thursday

# Egypt is to change back to Daylight system on May 15

# http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/100735/Egypt/Politics-/Egypts-government-to-reapply-daylight-saving-time-.aspx

# From Gunther Vermier (2015-05-13):

# our Egypt office confirms that the change will be at 15 May "midnight" (24:00)

# From Imed Chihi (2014-06-04):

# We have finally "located" a precise official reference about the DST changes

# in Egypt. The Ministers Cabinet decision is explained at

# http://www.cabinet.gov.eg/Media/CabinetMeetingsDetails.aspx?id=347 ...

# [T]his (Arabic) site is not accessible outside Egypt, but the page ...

# translates into: "With regard to daylight saving time, it is scheduled to

# take effect at exactly twelve o'clock this evening, Thursday, 15 MAY 2014,

# to be suspended by twelve o'clock on the evening of Thursday, 26 JUN 2014,

# and re-established again at the end of the month of Ramadan, at twelve

# o'clock on the evening of Thursday, 31 JUL 2014." This statement has been

# reproduced by other (more accessible) sites[, e.g.,]...

# http://elgornal.net/news/news.aspx?id=4699258

# From Paul Eggert (2014-06-04):

# Sarah El Deeb and Lee Keath of AP report that the Egyptian government says

# the change is because of blackouts in Cairo, even though Ahram Online (cited

# above) says DST had no affect on electricity consumption. There is

# no information about when DST will end this fall. See:

# http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/el-sissi-pushes-egyptians-line-23614833

#

# For now, guess that later spring and fall transitions will use

# 2010's rules, and guess that Egypt will switch to standard time at

# 24:00 the last Thursday before Ramadan, and back to DST at 00:00 the

# first Friday after Ramadan. To implement this,

# transition dates for 2015 through 2037 were determined by running

# the following program under GNU Emacs 24.3, with the results integrated

# by hand into the table below. Ramadan again intrudes on the guessed

# DST starting in 2038, but that's beyond our somewhat-arbitrary cutoff.

# normal spring-forward date falls during the estimated Ramadan; with

# all transitions removed for 2026-2035, where the estimated Ramadan

# falls entirely outside daylight-saving time; and with fall-back

# transitions removed for 2036-2037, where the normal fall-back

# date falls during the estimated Ramadan. Normally, the table would

# stop after 2037 because 32-bit time_t values roll around early in 2038,

# but that would imply a prediction of perpetual DST after March 2038

# due to the year-2037 glitches. So, this table instead stops after

# 2038, the first non-glitchy year after the 32-bit rollover.

# An advantage of stopping after 2038 is that it lets zic guess

# TZ='WET0WEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3' for time stamps far in the future.

# From Paul-Inge Flakstad (2014-03-10):

# I recently had a long dialog about this with the developer of timegenie.com.

# In the absence of specific dates, he decided to choose some likely ones:

# GMT +1 - From March 1 to the last Sunday in March

# GMT +2 - From the last Sunday in March until the last Sunday in October

# GMT +1 - From the last Sunday in October until November 7

# GMT +0 - From November 7 until March 1

# The dates for switching to and from UTC+0 will probably not be absolutely

# correct, but they should be quite close to the actual dates.

#

# From Paul Eggert (2014-03-21):

# The CET-switching Troll rules require zic from tzcode 2014b or later, so as

# suggested by Bengt-Inge Larsson comment them out for now, and approximate

# with only UTC and CEST. Uncomment them when 2014b is more prevalent.
