    Sometimes.

    Tunisia has not always changed our clocks. We have only used daylight savings time a few times since the year 2005. Even now that we are using daylight savings, we do not follow the normal set date period as other countries do.

    In 2005, we observed daylight savings from 1 May until 30 September. The UK and Tunisia were in the same time zone from 30 September until 30 October.

    in 2006, we observed daylight savings from 26 March until 29 October.

    The UK and Tunisia were in the same time zone for one day - 29 October.

    In 2007, we observed daylight savings from 25 March until 28 October.

    The UK and Tunisia were in the same time zone for one day - 28 October.

    This year we observed daylight savings from 30 March and it is set to end 26 October. This year the UK and Tunisia were not and will not be in the same time zone at all.

    Next year we are projected to observe daylight savings from 29 March to 25 October. Next year the UK and Tunisia will not be in the same time zone at all.

    As you can see, all summers previous to 2005, and a few other times the UK and Tunisia have been in the same time zone. It is possible for Tunisia and the UK to be in the same time zone for short periods of time again in the future, especially since the Tunisian government has not decided to keep daylight savings as a permanent thing yet (although that will probably happen).

    Normally we are GMT +1. When we use daylight savings, we jump ahead to GMT +2. Currently we are in GMT +2, with the daylight savings set to end later this month, making us once again, GMT +1.

    Hope this helped. If I can be of any more help or assistance, please feel free to contact me.

    you're no longer dropping an hour of your existence. you will get it lower back interior the fall whilst the clocks bypass lower back. I make the present time to be GMT+a million. only before international conflict a million (or thereabouts) all of us caught to Greenwich advise Time (GMT). it somewhat is the 'organic' time for great Britain (for eire the 'organic' time could be GMT-a million hour). organic time is the time foundation the place the sunlight is Due South at 12 midday. All British sundials are calibrated to GMT. 'summer season time' grow to be presented as a wartime subject. pay attention. If crucial ecu Time (CET) is proficient that ought to be GMT+2 in summer season and GMT=a million in iciness. human beings interior the united kingdom who stay north of Watford or West of analyzing will go through very dark mornings in iciness (break of day at 10 am) and it won't get dark till almost hour of darkness in summer season (noisy barbeques from thoughtless neighbours once you're attempting to sleep). of direction, Londoners and politicians could somewhat like CET yet farmers, notherners and West u . s . a . human beings will hate it.
