Time now in Bata

Bata sits at latitude 1.86, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 10m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.

Sunrise today lands at 06:19 and sunset at 06:29 local time, giving 12h 10m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (1.86, 9.77) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Bata.

If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Bata day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 08:00–16:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
