About the time in Francistown
The zone identifier Africa/Gaborone is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Gaborone keeps pointing at Gaborone time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:28 and sunset at 05:57 local time, giving 11h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-21.17, 27.51) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Francistown.
Francistown sits at latitude -21.17, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 29m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
