Time in Sudan is given by a single time zone, officially denoted as Central Africa Time (CAT;).[1] Sudan has observed CAT since 1 November 2017.[1] Sudan has not observed daylight saving time since 14 October 1985.
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, 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]
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]
In the IANA time zone database, Sudan is given one zone in the file zone.tab – Africa/Khartoum. "SD" refers to the country's ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. Data for Sudan directly from zone.tab of the IANA time zone database; columns marked with * are the columns from zone.tab itself:[6]
