[tz] Morocco: Ramadan Time Change 2023 [was: Morocco: Ramadan Time Change 2022] [was: Re: Morocco : Ramdan Time Change 2021]

Tue Mar 14 21:46:55 UTC 2023

Hi,

This year in Morocco, the start of the time shift in 2023 for the 
Ramadan lunar month is correct with predictions, BUT the end isn't good.

Sun Mar 19 01:59:59 2023 UT = Sun Mar 19 02:59:59 2023 +01
Sun Mar 19 02:00:00 2023 UT = Sun Mar 19 02:00:00 2023 +00
Sun Apr 30 01:59:59 2023 UT = Sun Apr 30 01:59:59 2023 +00
Sun Apr 30 02:00:00 2023 UT = Sun Apr 30 03:00:00 2023 +01

The end will be:
Sun Apr 23 01:59:59 2023 UT = Sun Apr 23 01:59:59 2023 +00
Sun Apr 23 02:00:00 2023 UT = Sun Apr 23 03:00:00 2023 +01

In English with google translate:
=============
Ramadan 2023: return to GMT time from this Sunday, March 19

The return to legal GMT time will take place this Sunday, March 19 at 3 
a.m. in accordance with the provisions of article 2 of decree n ° 
2.18.855 published on 16 Safar 1440 (October 26, 2018), relating to the 
time legal.

Don't forget to set your clocks back 60 minutes starting this Sunday, 
March 19 at 3 a.m. On the occasion of the month of Ramadan, Morocco will 
return to GMT legal time. This was announced by the Department of Public 
Administration Reform on Tuesday, March 14, 2023 in a press release.

As is the case every year, as the holy month of Ramadan approaches, 
GMT+1 temporarily gives way to legal time GMT. Legal time will then be 
advanced 60 minutes after Eid al-Fitr. Thus, the return to GMT+1 will be 
made on Sunday April 23, 2023 at 2 a.m.

As a reminder, the government had approved, in October 2018, the decree 
establishing the maintenance of summer time all year round. A decree 
which provides, however, for the possible change of time by government 
decision, in this case during the month of Ramadan.
================

Currently, I don't find any official government publication on Internet 
of this  press release but I suppose that the press media have received 
by traditional way.

Please note that the end of Ramadan will take place either on Friday 
April 21 or Saturday April 22 (depending on the moon sighting), so in 
any case on the night of Saturday to Sunday April 23, 2023, it will be 
finished. Maybe revise the predictions if this case happens again in the 
future.

Regards,
Milamber
