Morocco has decided to scrap winter time and will instead keep its clocks at summer time, GMT+1, all year around.
The announcement comes less than two days before the clocks would have gone back by one hour on Sunday.
Avoiding the switch would save “an hour of natural light”, Administrative Reform Minister Mohammed Ben Abdelkader told Maghreb Arabe Press.
The north African nation joins a number of others, mainly in Africa and Asia, which do not use daylight saving.
