British Rhodesia (at the time administered by the private British South Africa Company) was the first area in Africa to adopt standard time, switching to UTC+02:30 on 1 August 1899 as the previous time standards proved problematic for the railway system. [10]
South Africa observed a daylight saving time of GMT+03:00 between 20 September 1942 to 21 March 1943 and 19 September 1943 to 19 March 1944. [6] South African Standard Time is defined as "Coordinated Universal Time plus two hours" as defined in South African National Government Gazette No. 40125 of 8 July 2016. [7]
Time zone abbreviations for both Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time are shown exactly as they appear in the database. See strftime and its "%Z" field. Some of zone records use 3 or 4 letter abbreviations that are tied to physical time zones, others use numeric UTC offsets.
This is a list representing time zones by country. Countries are ranked by total number of time zones on their territory. Time zones of a country include that of dependent territories (except Antarctic claims). France, including its overseas territories, has the most time zones with 12 (13 including its claim in Antarctica and all other counties ).
Nigeria observes West Africa Time (WAT), which is one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time , year-round as standard time. Nigeria has never observed daylight saving time. It shares WAT with fourteen other countries in Africa. Nigeria's local mean time was UTC+00:13:35.
West Africa Time, or WAT, is a time zone used in west-central Africa. [1] West Africa Time is one hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC+01:00 ), which aligns it with Central European Time (CET) during winter, and Western European Summer Time (WEST) / British Summer Time (BST) during summer.
If expressed as summer times, these would have been equivalent to West Africa Summer Time and West Africa Standard Time, however Namibia was the only state in Africa to use the combination of UTC+01:00 and UTC+02:00. Central European Time also uses UTC+01:00 and UTC+02:00, but the northern seasons are opposite to the southern hemisphere.
