Around 10,226 people live in Basse-Terre, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 05:52 and sunset at 06:27 local time, giving 12h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (16.00, -61.72) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Basse-Terre.
