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.
