About the time in Burkina Faso
Burkina Faso sits at latitude 12.50, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 29m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:55 and sunset at 06:24 local time, giving 12h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (12.50, -1.67) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Burkina Faso.
Burkina Faso runs on Africa/Ouagadougou, which puts the city UTC +0 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.
