Reading your clock…
Casablanca never changes its clocks
Casablanca stays on UTC+00:00 all year round. This is worth being careful about rather than relaxed about: the gap between Casablanca and a city that does observe daylight saving still moves twice a year, because the other end moved. A recurring call can drift by an hour without anything changing here at all.
Time difference from Casablanca
Where a range is shown, the gap genuinely changes during the year. That is not rounding or hedging — it is two governments moving their clocks on different weekends.

Daylight in Casablanca through the year
From about 9.9 hours in December to 14.4 hours in June. This is the part a plain clock leaves out: 17:00 is a bright evening in one month and long dark in another.

Daylight length is accurate. The clock times of sunrise and sunset assume each city sits at the centre of its time zone, which can put them up to about an hour and a quarter out for places near a zone's edge — Madrid being the standard example. Day length is unaffected.
Questions
About time in Casablanca
What time zone is Casablanca in?
Casablanca uses the IANA time zone Africa/Casablanca, a fixed UTC+00:00 with no daylight saving.
Does Casablanca observe daylight saving time?
No. Casablanca stays on UTC+00:00 all year. That does not mean the gap between Casablanca and other cities is fixed, though: when a city that does observe daylight saving changes its clocks, the difference between you and them moves even though nothing changed here.
Why does the time difference to Casablanca keep changing?
Because the two places do not change their clocks on the same weekend. London is a clear example: it sits the same time, then 1 hour ahead across the year rather than one fixed distance.
How much daylight does Casablanca get?
Around 14.4 hours at the longest, in June, and about 9.9 hours at the shortest, in December. The table on this page lists sunrise and sunset through the year. Times are calculated from Casablanca's latitude of 33.57° and are approximate to within about an hour for cities that sit well away from the centre of their time zone.
