Palestine DST postponed by a day
by Steffen Thorsen March 5, 2015

March 5, 2015

Sources such as http://www.alquds.com/news/article/view/id/548257 and http://www.raya.ps/ar/news/890705.html say Palestine areas will start DST on 2015-03-28 00:00 which is one day later than expected. Our wrap-up: http://www.timeanddate.com/news/time/palestine-starts-dst-2015.html As a side note, some sources report that Kuwait may introduce DST. According to media reports like http://www.kuna.net.kw/ArticleDetails.aspx?id=2421216&Language=ar the authorities are considering advancing clocks by 2 hours every year. Best regards, Steffen Thorsen - timeanddate.com
