Cape Verde Time (CVT) is a time zone used by the Atlantic island nation of Cape Verde.[1] The zone is one hour behind UTC (UTC−01:00).[2]
| Light Blue | Cape Verde Time[a] (UTC−1) |
| Blue | Greenwich Mean Time (UTC) |
| Red | (UTC+1)[b] |
| Yellow | (UTC+2) |
| Ochre | Egypt Standard Time (UTC+2) |
| Egypt Summer Time (UTC+3) | |
| Green | East Africa Time (UTC+3) |
| Turquoise | (UTC+4) |
b During Ramadan, Morocco switches to Greenwich Mean Time (UTC) and returns to UTC+1 after it ends.
d Mauritius and the Seychelles lie to the east and northeast of Madagascar, respectively.
This time zone applies all the year round.[3] Due to its geographical location, completely west of the meridian 22°30'W (which forms the boundary between UTC−01:00 and UTC−02:00) Cape Verde effectively observes permanent daylight saving, given that the position of the archipelago is totally within the boundaries of UTC−02:00, the time zone observed until 1975.[citation needed]
