About the time in Gatwa
Gatwa sits at latitude -1.69, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 04m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Gatwa follows the civil time used across its region of Rwanda; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:02 and sunset at 06:06 local time, giving 12h 04m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-1.69, 29.69) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Gatwa.
