I'd guess that if permanent summer time were instituted, France and Spain would drop back an hour (to permanent GMT+1 instead of permanent GMT+2).

I'd guess that if permanent summer time were instituted, France and Spain would drop back an hour (to permanent GMT+1 instead of permanent GMT+2).
- mirages 8y agoReverse way for France Summer time is equivalent of UTC+2 Winter time is equivalent of UTC+1
- madcaptenor 8y agoThat's right. But I can't imagine France would want to be on +2 year-round. (Paris mean time is only nine minutes ahead of GMT.)
- Someone 8y agoSpain could even drop to GMT. Most of it is west of London, and that would align it with Portugal.
- madcaptenor 8y agoDoes Spain want to be aligned with Portugal, though?
- gpvos 8y agoIn fact, all of Spain is west of 7.5° east, which squarely puts it in GMT territory (there's a little sliver west of 7.5° west).
