About the time in Central
Central sits at latitude 3.65, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 13m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:49 and sunset at 07:02 local time, giving 12h 13m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (3.65, 31.72) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Central.
Central runs on Africa/Kampala, which puts the city UTC +3 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.
