How Mauritius keeps its time
- Set by longitude
- 60° E
- Mauritian law defines standard time as the solar time of 60 degrees east of Greenwich. Any time written in a law or an official document means that standard time, unless it says otherwise.
- No letter code
- UTC+4
- Mauritian law names no abbreviation for its time, and the weather service's bulletins use none. Some websites print MUT, a code the time zone database once used and later withdrew as invented. So this site shows the offset alone.
- Summer time, tried twice
- 2
- Mauritius put its clocks forward one hour for two summers. The first attempt was dropped after protests. The second was a pilot meant to save electricity, and it was not renewed. The clocks have not changed since.
- Rodrigues and Agaléga
- 1
- The law's definition of Mauritius takes in Rodrigues, Agaléga and St Brandon, so the same standard time applies there. Rodrigues lies further east than the main island, so the sun rises and sets there earlier by the clock.
