Shanks, The International Atlas (3rd edition), # San Diego: ACS Publications, Inc. (1991). # # Gwillim Law writes that a good source # for recent time zone data is the International Air Transport # Association's Standard Schedules Information Manual (IATA SSIM), # published semiannually. Law sent in several helpful summaries # of the IATA's data after 1990. # # Except where otherwise noted, Shanks is the source for entries through 1990, # and IATA SSIM is the source for entries after 1990. # # Another source occasionally used is Edward W. Whitman, World Time Differences, # Whitman Publishing Co, 2 Niagara Av, Ealing, London (undated), which # I found in the UCLA library. # # A reliable and entertaining source about time zones is # Derek Howse, Greenwich time and the discovery of the longitude, # Oxford University Press (1980). # # I added so many Zone names that the old, mostly flat name space was unwieldy. # So I renamed the Zones to have the form AREA/LOCATION, where # AREA is the name of a continent or ocean, and # LOCATION is the name of a specific location within that region. # For example, the old zone name `Egypt' is now `Africa/Cairo'. # # Here are the general rules I used for choosing location names, # in decreasing order of importance: # # Use only valid Posix file names. Use only Ascii letters, digits, `.', # `-' and `_'. Do not exceed 14 characters or start with `-'. # E.g. prefer `Brunei' to `Bandar_Seri_Begawan'. # Include at least one location per time zone rule set per country. # One such location is enough. # If all the clocks in a country's region have agreed since 1970, # don't bother to include more than one location # even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970. # Otherwise these tables would become annoyingly large. # If a name is ambiguous, use a less ambiguous alternative; # e.g. many cities are named San Jose and Georgetown, so # prefer `Costa_Rica' to `San_Jose' and `Guyana' to `Georgetown'. # Keep locations compact. Use cities or small islands, not countries # or regions, so that any future time zone changes do not split # locations into different time zones. E.g. prefer `Paris' # to `France', since France has had multiple time zones. # Use traditional English spelling, e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Roma', and # prefer `Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters). # The Posix file name restrictions encourage this rule. # Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone, # e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'. Among locations with # similar populations, pick the best-known location, # e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'. # Use the singular form, e.g. prefer `Canary' to `Canaries'. # Omit common suffixes like `_Islands' and `_City', unless that # would lead to ambiguity. E.g. prefer `Cayman' to # `Cayman_Islands' and `Guatemala' to `Guatemala_City', # but prefer `Mexico_City' to `Mexico' because the country # of Mexico has several time zones. # Use `_' to represent a space. # Omit `.' from abbreviations in names, e.g. prefer `St_Helena' # to `St._Helena'. # # For time zone abbreviations like `EST' I used the following rules, # in decreasing order of importance: # # Use abbreviations that consist of 3 or more upper-case Ascii letters, # except use "___" for locations while uninhabited. # Posix.1 requires at least 3 characters, and the restriction to # upper-case Ascii letters follows most traditions. # Previous editions of this database also used characters like # ' ' and '?', but these characters have a special meaning to # the shell and cause commands like # set `date` # to have unexpected effects. In theory, the character set could # be !%./@A-Z^_a-z{}, but these tables use only upper-case # Ascii letters (and "___"). # Use abbreviations that are in common use among English-speakers, # e.g. `EST' for Eastern Standard Time in North America. # We assume that applications translate them to other languages # as part of the normal localization process; for example, # a French application might translate `EST' to `HNE'. # For zones whose times are taken from a city's longitude, use the # traditional xMT notation, e.g. `PMT' for Paris Mean Time. # The only name like this in current use is `GMT'. # If there is no common English abbreviation, abbreviate the English # translation of the usual phrase used by native speakers. # If this is not available or is a phrase mentioning the country # (e.g. ``Cape Verde Time''), then: # # When a country has a single or principal time zone region, # append `T' to the country's ISO code, e.g. `CVT' for # Cape Verde Time. For summer time append `ST'; # for double summer time append `DST'; etc. # When a country has multiple time zones, take the first three # letters of an English place name identifying each zone # and then append `T', `ST', etc. as before; # e.g. `MOSST' for MOScow Summer Time. # # # For Africa I invented the following time zone abbreviations. # LMT Local Mean Time # -1:00 AAT Atlantic Africa Time (no longer used) # 0:00 WAT West Africa Time # 1:00 CAT Central Africa Time # 2:00 SAT South Africa Time # 3:00 EAT East Africa Time # The final `T' is replaced by `ST' for summer time, e.g. `SAST'. # BEAT is British East Africa Time, which was 2:30 before 1948 and 2:45 after. # Algeria # Rule NAME FROM TO TYPE IN ON AT SAVE LETTER/S Rule Algeria 1916 only - Jun 14 23:00s 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1916 1919 - Oct Sun<=7 23:00s 0 - Rule Algeria 1917 only - Mar 24 23:00s 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1918 only - Mar 9 23:00s 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1919 only - Mar 1 23:00s 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1920 only - Feb 14 23:00s 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1920 only - Oct 23 23:00s 0 - Rule Algeria 1921 only - Mar 14 23:00s 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1921 only - Jun 21 23:00s 0 - Rule Algeria 1939 only - Sep 11 23:00s 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1939 only - Nov 19 1:00 0 - Rule Algeria 1944 1945 - Apr Mon<=7 2:00 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1944 only - Oct 8 2:00 0 - Rule Algeria 1945 only - Sep 16 1:00 0 - Rule Algeria 1971 only - Apr 25 23:00s 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1971 only - Sep 26 23:00s 0 - Rule Algeria 1977 only - May 6 0:00 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1977 only - Oct 21 0:00 0 - Rule Algeria 1978 only - Mar 24 1:00 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1978 only - Sep 22 3:00 0 - Rule Algeria 1980 only - Apr 25 0:00 1:00 S Rule Algeria 1980 only - Oct 31 2:00 0 - # Shanks gives 0:09 for Paris Mean Time; go with Howse's more precise 0:09:21. # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Algiers 0:12:12 - LMT 1891 Mar 15 0:01 0:09:21 - PMT 1911 Mar 11 # Paris Mean Time 0:00 Algeria WE%sT 1940 Feb 25 2:00 1:00 Algeria CE%sT 1946 Oct 7 0:00 - WET 1956 Jan 29 1:00 - CET 1963 Apr 14 0:00 Algeria WE%sT 1977 Oct 21 1:00 Algeria CE%sT 1979 Oct 26 0:00 Algeria WE%sT 1981 May 1:00 - CET # Angola # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Luanda 0:52:56 - LMT 1892 0:52:04 - LMT 1911 May 26 # Luanda Mean Time? 1:00 - CAT # Bassas da India # uninhabited # Benin # Whitman says they switched to 1:00 in 1946, not 1934; go with Shanks. # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Porto-Novo 0:10:28 - LMT 1912 0:00 - WAT 1934 Feb 26 1:00 - CAT # Botswana # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Gaborone 1:43:40 - LMT 1885 2:00 - SAT 1943 Sep 19 2:00 2:00 1:00 SAST 1944 Mar 19 2:00 2:00 - SAT # Burkina Faso # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Ouagadougou -0:06:04 - LMT 1912 0:00 - WAT # Burundi # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Bujumbura 1:57:28 - LMT 1890 2:00 - SAT # Cameroon # Whitman says they switched to 1:00 in 1920; go with Shanks. # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Douala 0:38:48 - LMT 1912 1:00 - CAT # Cape Verde # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Atlantic/Cape_Verde -1:34:04 - LMT 1907 # Praia -2:00 - CVT 1942 Sep -2:00 1:00 CVST 1945 Oct 15 -2:00 - CVT 1975 Nov 25 2:00 -1:00 - CVT # Central African Republic # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Bangui 1:14:20 - LMT 1912 1:00 - CAT # Chad # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Ndjamena 1:00:12 - LMT 1912 1:00 - CAT 1979 Oct 14 1:00 1:00 CAST 1980 Mar 8 1:00 - CAT # Comoros # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Indian/Comoro 2:53:04 - LMT 1911 Jul # Moroni, Gran Comoro 3:00 - EAT # Congo # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Brazzaville 1:01:08 - LMT 1912 1:00 - CAT # Cote D'Ivoire # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Abidjan -0:16:08 - LMT 1912 0:00 - WAT # Djibouti # Zone NAME GMTOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL] Zone Africa/Djibouti 2:52:36 - LMT 1911 Jul 3:00 - EAT ############################################################################### # Egypt # From Bob Devine (1988-01-28): # Egypt: DST from first day of May to first of October (ending may # also be on Sept 30th not 31st -- you might want to ask one of the # soc.* groups, you might hit someone who could ask an embassy). # DST since 1960 except for 1981-82. # From U.
