How Jordan settled on one time
- The same hour, renamed
- UTC+3
- Jordan kept its summer offset when summer time would otherwise have ended. The time zone database calls that offset standard time from that point on. The database models Syria's clocks the same way. So Jordan's clocks gained no hour and lost none.
- An earlier spell on summer time
- 21
- Jordan had held on to summer time through a winter before. In one year, the government announced it would not switch back to standard time that winter. Jordan Times and other sources later reported a return to the earlier winter offset. The database counts that spell, 21 months in all, as summer time.
- Who shares Jordan's time
- Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Syria show Jordan's time in every month. Israel, Lebanon and Egypt move their clocks for summer. In winter, all three are 1 hour behind Amman. While their summer time runs, all three match Amman.
