Time now in Āwraja Gash-Setīt

Sunrise today lands at 06:17 and sunset at 06:51 local time, giving 12h 34m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (15.00, 37.20) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Āwraja Gash-Setīt.

Āwraja Gash-Setīt runs on Africa/Asmara, 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/Asmara is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Asmara keeps pointing at Asmara time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
