Sunrise today lands at 06:03 and sunset at 06:07 local time, giving 12h 04m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-1.69, 29.26) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Gisenyi.

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.
