Daylight Saving Time (DST) Not Observed in Year 2021

Windhoek currently observes Central Africa Time (CAT)

all year.

DST is no longer in use.

Clocks do not change in Windhoek, Namibia.

The previous DST change in Windhoek was on 24 October 2017

Why WAT is mentioned?

Why it is different from other rule and format?

Regards,

Vaibhav

A bare "%s" in a zone line such as ...
   Zone Africa/Windhoek 2:00 Namibia %s
...means that the abbreviations are completely specified in the Rule lines being used. In this case, the operative Rule lines are...
    Rule Namibia 1994 only - Mar 21 0:00 -1:00 WAT
    Rule Namibia 1994 2017 - Sep Sun>=1 2:00 0 CAT
    Rule Namibia 1995 2017 - Apr Sun>=1 2:00 -1:00 WAT
...and so the abbreviations "WAT" and "CAT" are the result.
