Addis Ababa runs on Africa/Addis_Ababa, which puts the city UTC +3 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/Addis_Ababa is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Addis_Ababa keeps pointing at Addis Ababa time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
