About the time in Base
Base sits at latitude -1.64, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 04m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:01 and sunset at 06:05 local time, giving 12h 04m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-1.64, 29.90) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Base.
The zone identifier Africa/Kigali is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Kigali keeps pointing at Kigali time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
