About the time in Addis Ababa
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Addis Ababa day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 06:17 and sunset at 06:39 local time, giving 12h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (9.02, 38.75) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Addis Ababa.
Clocks in Addis Ababa stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +3 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Ethiopia.
