Time in Sudan


Time in Sudan is given by a single time zone, officially denoted as Central Africa Time. Sudan has observed CAT since 1 November 2017. 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 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; this change was later reverted on 1 November 2017 when Sudan readopted UTC+02:00.

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.
