About the time in Gaborone
Gaborone runs on Africa/Gaborone, which puts the city UTC +2 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.
Around 246,325 people live in Gaborone, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Gaborone sits at latitude -24.65, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 22m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
