About the time in Ghana
Sunrise today lands at 05:57 and sunset at 06:18 local time, giving 12h 21m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (8.10, -1.20) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ghana.
Ghana runs on Africa/Accra, which puts the city UTC +0 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 Africa/Accra is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Accra keeps pointing at Accra time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
