❓Frequently Asked Questions
Casablanca, Morocco uses Western European Time (WET, UTC+0) as its standard time and Western European Summer Time (WEST, UTC+1) during Daylight Saving Time. Morocco observes DST from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. However, Morocco suspends DST during Ramadan, reverting to UTC+0, making Casablanca's offset variable during that period. The IANA timezone identifier is Africa/Casablanca.
Casablanca is in the UTC+0 standard time zone (Western European Time, WET). During summer (outside Ramadan), Morocco observes WEST (UTC+1). Morocco's timezone behavior is unique: DST is suspended during Ramadan each year, which means the offset can change multiple times during that month. The IANA identifier is Africa/Casablanca.
Yes, but with a unique exception. Morocco observes DST from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October (WEST, UTC+1). However, during Ramadan (a lunar month that shifts each year), Morocco reverts to standard time (WET, UTC+0). This means Casablanca has two DST transitions in a typical year, plus two Ramadan transitions, creating an unusual pattern for scheduling.
Casablanca (WET, UTC+0) and London (GMT, UTC+0) are on the same time in winter. During UK summer (BST, UTC+1), London moves 1 hour ahead of Casablanca (if Casablanca is not on WEST). When both are on summer time, they are equal again. The gap varies depending on Morocco's DST status (including Ramadan exceptions) and UK DST.
Casablanca (WET, UTC+0) is 1 hour behind Paris (CET, UTC+1) in winter. During European summer (CEST, UTC+2), Paris is 2 hours ahead of Casablanca (if Casablanca is on WET). When Morocco is on WEST (UTC+1) and Paris is on CEST (UTC+2), the gap is 1 hour. The Ramadan exception creates additional variability.
Casablanca (WET, UTC+0) is 5 hours ahead of New York (EST, UTC-5) in winter. During US DST (EDT, UTC-4), Casablanca is 4 hours ahead. When Casablanca is on WEST (UTC+1), it is 6 hours ahead of EST or 5 hours ahead of EDT.
Standard business hours in Casablanca are 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM WET/WEST, Monday through Friday. During Ramadan, working hours are typically reduced.
