Hello Paul,

The 2019 Ramadan period is supposed to be from May 5th to June 4th.
We usually move clocks back the previous week end and come back to the +1 the week end after.
So it supposed to be sunday april 28 and sunday june 12.

The government does not announce yet the decision about this temporarily change.

But it s 99% sure that it will be the case, as the previous years.

A non official survey was done these days, showing that 64% of asked peopke are ok for moving from +1 to +0  during Ramadan.

I will share the official decision once it s published.

Regards,

Abdelkader Maamar
