About the time in Congo
Sunrise today lands at 05:32 and sunset at 05:26 local time, giving 11h 54m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-7.80, -36.63) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Congo.
Congo runs on America/Recife, 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.
The zone identifier America/Recife is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Recife keeps pointing at Recife time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
