849# From Paul Eggert (2013-03-06): 850# Morocco's daylight-saving transitions due to Ramadan seem to be 851# announced a bit in advance. On 2012-07-11 the Moroccan government 852# announced that year's Ramadan daylight-saving transitions would be 853# 2012-07-20 and 2012-08-20; see 854# <http://www.mmsp.gov.ma/fr/actualites.aspx?id=288>. 855# 856# To estimate what the Moroccan government will do in future years, 857# transition dates for 2013 through 2021 were determined by running 858# the following program under GNU Emacs 24.3: 859# 860# (let ((islamic-year 1434)) 861# (while (< islamic-year 1444) 862# (let ((a 863# (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute 864# (calendar-islamic-to-absolute (list 9 1 islamic-year)))) 865# (b 866# (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute 867# (calendar-islamic-to-absolute (list 10 1 islamic-year))))) 868# (insert 869# (format 870# (concat "Rule\tMorocco\t%d\tonly\t-\t%s\t %2d\t 3:00\t0\t-\n" 871# "Rule\tMorocco\t%d\tonly\t-\t%s\t %2d\t 2:00\t1:00\tS\n") 872# (car (cdr (cdr a))) (calendar-month-name (car a) t) (car (cdr a)) 873# (car (cdr (cdr b))) (calendar-month-name (car b) t) (car (cdr b))))) 874# (setq islamic-year (+ 1 islamic-year)))) 875# 876# with the results hand-edited for 2020-2022, when the normal spring-forward 877# date falls during the estimated Ramadan. 878# 879# From 2023 through 2038 Ramadan is not predicted to overlap with 880# daylight saving time. Starting in 2039 there will be overlap again, 881# but 32-bit time_t values roll around in 2038 so for now do not worry 882# about dates after 2038. 883 |
