About the time in Ambalamena
Ambalamena follows the civil time used across its region of Madagascar; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:04 and sunset at 05:37 local time, giving 11h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-20.17, 48.03) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ambalamena.
The zone identifier Indian/Antananarivo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Indian/Antananarivo keeps pointing at Antananarivo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
