About the time in Gottenburg
The zone identifier Africa/Johannesburg is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Johannesburg keeps pointing at Johannesburg time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:16 and sunset at 05:38 local time, giving 11h 22m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-24.64, 31.42) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Gottenburg.
Clocks in Gottenburg stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +2 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in South Africa.
