A reminder to all our readers that on June 1 Morocco will switch to daylight saving and you will need to switch your clocks forward one hour. This will effect all train, bus and airline timetables so be aware!
Morocco is to save energy by adjusting its clock during summer so it will be one hour ahead of GMT between 1 June and 27 September, according to Communication Minister and Government Spokesman, Khalid Naciri. "This measure will allow us to save energy and to align the time zone with Morocco’s regional and international partners including the EU countries".
According to Public Sector Modernisation, Minister Mohammed Abbou,"The Ministry of Energy and Mining compiled a study on the efficiency of using energy, based on the currently adopted time. The study concluded that should the clock be set one hour ahead during summer, Morocco's consumption of energy will drop by 1%,"
In the 1980s, Morocco used to adjust its clock during the summer time, but later cancelled the process.
