Morocco does not change its clocks
Morocco stays on UTC+0:00 all year. Its offset from UTC never moves, so its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead — which is usually why someone checks. Right now it is on UTC, and 5 hours ahead of New York.

The day is 10 hours 28 minutes long in Casablanca, and losing 2 minutes a day. The sun peaks at 12:14 pm, 14 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Casablanca sits 30 minutes of solar time west of UTC+0:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.
The solar year swings 4 hours 28 minutes in Casablanca: 14 hours 23 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 9 hours 55 minutes at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.
Morocco has kept UTC+0:00 since Sunday, September 20, 2026, when it moved from UTC+1:00. Before that its clocks read 1 hour ahead of what they read now.
