, daylight saving time (DST) is observed in Morocco, advancing to UTC+1 at 02:00 on the last Sunday of March, and reverting to UTC (standard time) at 03:00 on the last Sunday of October, with the exception of the month of Ramadan, during which clocks revert to UTC (standard time).〔 For 2014, these dates were: : * 29 March – advance to UTC+1 (DST) : * 28 June – return to UTC (start of Ramadan) : * 2 August – advance to UTC+1 (end of Ramadan)〔 : * 26 October – return to UTC (standard time) ==History== * 2008: DST began on 1 June and ended on 1 September. This was the first time Morocco had used daylight saving time since 1978. * 2009: DST began on 1 June and ended on 21 August. * 2010: DST began on 2 May and ended on 8 August, just before Ramadan, as had been the case in recent years. * 2011: DST began on 2 April at midnight and ended on 31 July at midnight. * 2012: On Thursday, 8 March 2012, the Moroccan Cabinet approved a bill for the permanent adoption of DST with predictable start and finish dates.
