2027 time change dates for Morocco

Morocco does not observe Daylight Saving Time

Morocco does not use seasonal Daylight Saving Time. It stays on UTC+1 permanently, but sets clocks back one hour for the month of Ramadan and forward again afterwards, so the two annual changes move earlier each year with the lunar calendar.

Morocco stays on CET for the whole year.

Background

The energy case for DST is weak by modern standards. A US Department of Energy study in 2008 found savings of about 0.5% of daily electricity use, and other studies have found no saving at all.
Arizona and Hawaii are the only US states that skip DST statewide, along with the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa and the US Virgin Islands.
Benjamin Franklin is often credited with inventing DST, but his 1784 essay was satire — he joked that Parisians could save candles by waking earlier. The modern proposal came from New Zealander George Hudson in 1895 and Briton William Willett in 1907.

Tips for Morocco

💡

Check and replace smoke detector batteries when changing clocks - it's a good reminder!

💡

Use the phrase 'Spring forward, fall back' to remember which direction to change your clocks.

💡

Be extra cautious driving the Monday after the spring time change - accident rates increase.

💡

Use the extra evening daylight in summer for outdoor activities and vitamin D.
