About the time in Cape Coast
Sunrise today lands at 06:00 and sunset at 06:16 local time, giving 12h 16m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (5.11, -1.25) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Cape Coast.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Cape Coast day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 09:00–17:00 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.
The zone identifier Africa/Accra is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Accra keeps pointing at Accra time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
