Central Africa Time or CAT, is a time zone used in central and southern Africa. Central Africa Time is two hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+02:00), which is the same as the adjacent South Africa Standard Time, Egypt Standard Time, Eastern European Time, Kaliningrad Time and Central European Summer Time.
As this time zone is in the equatorial and tropical regions, there is little change in day length throughout the year and so daylight saving time is not observed.
Central Africa Time is observed by the following countries:
Botswana[1]
Burundi[1]
Democratic Republic of the Congo (eastern provinces)[1]
Malawi[1]
Mozambique[1]
Namibia[2]
Rwanda[1]
Sudan[3]
South Sudan[4][5]
Zambia[1]
Zimbabwe[1]
The following countries in Africa also use an offset of UTC+02:00 all-year round:
Egypt (observes Egypt Standard Time)
Eswatini (observes South African Standard Time)
Lesotho (observes South African Standard Time)
Libya (observes Eastern European Time)
South Africa (observes South African Standard Time)
