2028 schedule
| Change | Date | Local time | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| No clock changes in 2028. 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.
Time until the next change
Current local time:
Getting ready
- Remember that not all countries change on the same date - check international meeting times carefully.
- Be extra cautious driving the Monday after the spring time change - accident rates increase.
- Set your clocks before going to bed to avoid confusion in the morning.
- Use the extra evening daylight in summer for outdoor activities and vitamin D.
Frequently asked questions
When do the clocks change in Morocco in 2028?
They do not. Morocco does not observe Daylight Saving Time.
Which way do the clocks go?
"Spring forward, fall back" is the usual mnemonic: forward one hour in spring, back one hour in autumn.
Do I have to change anything myself?
Phones, computers and anything that syncs over the internet update on their own. Car clocks, ovens, microwaves and older wall clocks generally do not.
Is Daylight Saving Time being scrapped?
It has been proposed in many places and adopted in few. The European Parliament voted in 2019 to end mandatory clock changes and the change has stalled; in the United States the Sunshine Protection Act has repeatedly passed the Senate without becoming law. Most of the world that changes its clocks is still changing them.
