Time in Sudan is given by a single time zone, officially denoted as Central Africa Time (CAT; UTC 02:00). 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 (UTC 02:00) as standard time. On 15 January 2000, Sudan's time moved forward one hour to East Africa Time (UTC 03:00), 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.
