Hello, Following the announcement by the Moroccan government, the switch to GMT time will take place on Sunday, April 19, 2020 from 3 a.m. and the return to GMT+ 1 time will take place on Sunday, May 31, 2020 at 2 a.m. and not Sunday May 24, 2020 as described at the TMZ base. To this end, thank you for updating the TMZ database to take this change into account. Attached the official decision of the government. https://maroc-diplomatique.net/maroc-le-retour-a-lheure-gmt-est-prevu-dimanc... http://aujourdhui.ma/actualite/gmt1-retour-a-lheure-normale-dimanche-prochai...

Please confirm also that the switch to GMT+1 on Sunday, June 9th 2019
at 2 am is already implemented in the tzdata.
Yes, I checked that too. For what it's worth, here are the tzdata 2018h-and-later predictions for Africa/Casablanca through the year 2037. The columns are the date, the hour just after the transition, the UTC offset just after the transition, and (optionally) 1 if (negative) DST is in effect. These predictions could well be wrong: if you have better info please let us know. 2019-05-05 02 +00 1 2019-06-09 03 +01 2020-04-19 02 +00 1 2020-05-24 03 +01 2021-04-11 02 +00 1 2021-05-16 03 +01 2022-03-27 02 +00 1 2022-05-08 03 +01 2023-03-19 02 +00 1 2023-04-23 03 +01 2024-03-10 02 +00 1 2024-04-14 03 +01 2025-02-23 02 +00 1 2025-04-06 03 +01 2026-02-15 02 +00 1 2026-03-22 03 +01 2027-02-07 02 +00 1 2027-03-14 03 +01 2028-01-23 02 +00 1 2028-02-27 03 +01 2029-01-14 02 +00 1 2029-02-18 03 +01 2029-12-30 02 +00 1 2030-02-10 03 +01 2030-12-22 02 +00 1 2031-01-26 03 +01 2031-12-14 02 +00 1 2032-01-18 03 +01 2032-11-28 02 +00 1 2033-01-09 03 +01 2033-11-20 02 +00 1 2033-12-25 03 +01 2034-11-05 02 +00 1 2034-12-17 03 +01 2035-10-28 02 +00 1 2035-12-02 03 +01 2036-10-19 02 +00 1 2036-11-23 03 +01 2037-10-04 02 +00 1 2037-11-15 03 +01 ________________________________ [Description : cid:image002.jpg@01CC9EE4.44A57D10]Eco – geste: privilégiez la sauvegarde électronique, si nécessaire imprimez en recto-verso ________________________________ Ce message et toutes les pièces jointes sont adressés à l'attention exclusive de leurs destinataires et sont strictement confidentiels.
