About Casablanca's time zone
Casablanca follows Western European Time (WET, UTC+0) in winter and Western European Summer Time (WEST, UTC+1) in summer — with a unique exception: during Ramadan, Morocco suspends DST and returns to UTC+0 regardless of the season. This means Morocco can switch time zones twice within a single month when Ramadan straddles the standard DST transition dates. Morocco is Africa's largest economy and Casablanca is its commercial capital.

Did you know? Casablanca's time zone situation is uniquely complex because of the Ramadan suspension of DST. In years where Ramadan falls during summer, Moroccan clocks can change up to four times in a few months: forward to DST, back for Ramadan, forward again after Ramadan, then back to standard time in autumn. Tech companies working with Morocco often patch their systems specifically for this behavior.
