Good day,

According to several news reports, Egypt will start DST on midnight after

Thursday, April 30, 2015.

This is based on a law (no 35) from May 15, 2014 saying it starts the

last Thursday of April.

This means we will to change the rule to "lastThu 24:00s" instead of

"lastFri 0:00s". Clocks will still be turned back for Ramadan, but dates not  yet announced.
