ACST-1

ACST-1 (Algerian Central Standard Time, version 1) is the time zone used in Algeria, which is located in North Africa. It is 1 hour ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+1). This means that when it is noon UTC, it is 1 p.m. in Algeria. ACST-1 helps standardize time within the country for scheduling and daily activities, aligning the country's clocks to a consistent time zone. It does not change with daylight saving time, so the time remains the same throughout the year.
