352

346

359

# Sarah El Deeb and Lee Keath of AP report that the Egyptian government says

347

360

# the change is because of blackouts in Cairo, even though Ahram Online (cited

348

# DST will not be observed during Ramadan. There is no information about when

# For now, guess that later transitions will use 2010's rules, and that

354

# Egypt will agree with Morocco (see below) about the date Ramadan starts and

355

# ends, though (unlike Morocco) it will switch at 00:00 standard time. In

356

# Egypt the spring-forward transitions are removed for 2020-2022, when the

357

# guessed spring-forward date falls during the estimated Ramadan, and all

358

# transitions removed for 2023-2038, where the estimated Ramadan falls entirely

359

# outside the guessed daylight-saving time. Ramadan intrudes on the guessed

360

# DST starting in 2039, but that's beyond our somewhat-arbitrary cutoff.

944
