Tokelau in wrong time zone?
by Steffen Thorsen July 25, 2012

July 25, 2012

The IANA tz database, Wikipedia, CIA World Fact Book, most time zone web sites and a lot of other sources claim that Tokelau is on UTC+14 (or UTC-10 if they have not corrected for the date line switch in December). However, we got a complaint a few weeks ago, from a user in Tokelau that our Tokelau time on timeanddate.com was one hour ahead of the actual time there. He claimed Tokelau had the same current time as Samoa (UTC+13) at the moment and he worked for the Tokelau Government. This lead us to investigate, we double checked by calling hotels and offices based in Tokelau asking about the time there, and they all told a time that agrees with UTC+13. So it was soon evident that Tokelau is on UTC+13. The next problem was to find when they changed from UTC+14, or if it might have happened as they moved from UTC-10 last December (skipping 23 hours instead of a full day). But sources agreed that there had not been any time change recently, Tokelau does not participate in DST and that the change last December was to skip a full day - and this means that Tokelau was on UTC-11 last year. We found some NZ government sources, saying UTC-11, one being as far back as 2005: http://www.mfat.govt.nz/downloads/foreign-relations/tokelau/tokelau-brochur… says "Local time: GMT –11." One from 2012, but that one has not adjusted for the date line change: http://www.nzte.govt.nz/explore-export-markets/australia-pacific/Documents/… says "Time zone: GMT -11 hours" So, Tokelau has probably been on UTC-11 (or +13) at least since year 2005. This makes me wonder, has Tokelau ever been on UTC-10? Looking in the record for Fakaofo, it says they changed from Local Mean Time in 1901, and then moved the clocks by nearly 85 minutes! I looked through the australasia file and could not find any other location that moved their clocks by more than 1 hour as they went from LMT to a standard time zone or a time zone somehow connected to GMT. (The vast majority adjusted by less than 30 minutes.) Currently we have: (tabs mangled) Zone Pacific/Fakaofo -11:24:56 - LMT 1901 -10:00 - TKT 2011 Dec 30 # Tokelau Time 14:00 - TKT Shanks says UTC-10 from 1901 and is probably the source here. I think there is a good chance the change actually was to UTC-11 back then, and that they have never changed their clocks after that - if not we would need to find some date between 1901 and 2005 that they changed their time zone. Don Higgins, Advisor to the Administrator of Tokelau raised the fact about the wrong time and has contributed significantly to our research. Best regards, Steffen Thorsen - timeanddate.com

tzcode2012c and tzdata2012d available
by Paul Eggert July 20, 2012

July 20, 2012

New versions of the tz code and data are now available from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzcode2012c.tar.gz ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases/tzdata2012d.tar.gz These reflect the changes for Morocco's time stamps, which take effect in a couple of hours, along with infrastructure changes to accommodate how the tz code and data are released on IANA. Sorry about the late release. I will send more details to the tz mailing list shortly.

unofficial tz repository on github
by Paul Eggert July 19, 2012

July 19, 2012

I've set up an unofficial repository containing the tz code and data at <https://github.com/eggert/tz>. This is supposed to contain the history of changes to the tz code and data, back to the first commit in 1984. I plan to use it to publish further proposed changes. The official tz distributions will remain in their current location, at <ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/>. The tz code was formerly maintained as an SCCS repository, but nowadays Git seems more appropriate. Unfortunately no publicly-available SCCS-to-Git converter was up to the task of migrating the tz repository; the two I tried mishandled old time stamps and lost revisions! So I wrote my own. This task languished until Arthur David Olson's recent higher-priority message about Morocco <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2012-July/018123.html>, which prompted me to move this task to the top of my list. The unofficial repository currently contains the latest public tz code and data distributions (tzcode2012b and tzdata2012c), with the following further modifications, each of which represents a proposed change: * Switch from SCCS to git. https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/dccd5a16af62c52f2b49a2fe56270a710617cbbd This alters how version numbers are handled. * Morocco does not observe DST from Jul 20 03:00 to Aug 20 02:00. https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/0e0bb39b15fbbaa759d66951ec727d640d17acc5 These are Arthur's changes for Morocco, with minor editing. * Adjust to iana.org distribution method. https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/943c565e512880520c685c3233fa127f2341d3a3 This documents the switch to iana.org as a distribution site. * Fix HTML validation issues. https://github.com/eggert/tz/commit/8a52da39ed9a4988da930ded4946b0b24cc45f2c This is so that "make check" works again. I'll send details about these proposed changes in followup emails. Each email will contain one of the patches, along with a brief log entry describing its purpose. This is the style used by "git format-patch". Unfortunately I have not had time to look at the other changes that are pending. This will require looking through emails since about March, and merging the changes into the database. My impression is that these changes are less pressing, though, and I thought I'd get the Morocco change out first, and to make sure that this new distribution scheme works. Comments are welcome, especially those that fix bugs in the Morocco change or the development machinery.

According to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/clockchange.html?n=60&year=2012, DST in Morocco is being suspended between 20 July and 19 August. A customer is reporting that the suspension will be between 15 July and 26 August. I have asked for references, but so far do not have any. The tzdata database has no suspension: Rule Morocco 2012 max - Apr lastSun 2:00 1:00 S Rule Morocco 2012 max - Sep lastSun 3:00 0 - Neil Masson Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
