Time in Sudan is given by a single time zone, officially denoted as Central Africa Time (CAT; UTC+02:00).[1] Sudan has observed CAT since 1 November 2017.[1] Sudan has not observed daylight saving time since 14 October 1985.
History
Sudan observed the UTC offset of 2:10:08 as its local mean time until 1931, when it adopted Central Africa Time (UTC+02:00) as standard time. On 15 January 2000, Sudan's time moved forward one hour to East Africa Time (UTC+03:00), causing the territory to deviate from solar time;[2] this change was later reverted on 1 November 2017 when Sudan readopted UTC+02:00.[3]
Daylight saving time
Sudan previously observed daylight saving time between 1970 and 1985, moving the clock forward one hour from UTC+02:00 to UTC+03:00.[4][5][6]
