About the time in Abomey
Sunrise today lands at 06:45 and sunset at 07:04 local time, giving 12h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (7.18, 1.99) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Abomey.
Abomey runs on Africa/Porto-Novo, which puts the city UTC +1 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
The zone identifier Africa/Porto-Novo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Porto-Novo keeps pointing at Porto-Novo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
