^a The islands of Cape Verde and Canary Islands are to the west of the African mainland.

Daylight saving time is not observed in this time zone.

Due to its geographical location, completely west of the meridian 22°30'W – that forms the border between UTC-01:00 and UTC-02:00 – Cape Verde observes a permanent daylight saving time, given that the position of the archipelago is totally on the borders of UTC-02:00, time zone observed until 1975.
