^a The islands of Cape Verde and the Canary Islands lie west of the African mainland.
^b During Ramadan, Morocco switches to Greenwich Mean Time (UTC) and returns to UTC+1 after it ends.
^d Mauritius and the Seychelles lie to the east and northeast of Madagascar, respectively.

This time zone applies all the year round.^[3] Due to its geographical location, completely west of the meridian 22°30'W (which forms the boundary between UTC−01:00 and UTC−02:00) Cape Verde effectively observes permanent daylight saving, given that the position of the archipelago is totally within the boundaries of UTC−02:00, the time zone observed until 1975.^{[citation needed]}
