Jordan thinking of following Turkey's lead

Jordan is considering following Turkey's lead and switching to permanent +03, which would mean Asia/Amman's clocks would not be changed from 01:00 to 00:00 on October 28. Instead of switching back to +02 as currently planned, the government may delay working and school hours to better match year-round +03. (Amman's local mean time is roughly +0224.) There is no word on when the decision will be made. If they do decide to change the rules on such short notice, we'd need to generate a new tz version soon after. Given the usual delays in propagating such a change, there's a good chance Jordan's cell phones and computers won't be updated in time. Obeidat O. Gov’t mulls keeping summertime around the year.
