About the time in Kenema
Sunrise today lands at 06:37 and sunset at 06:58 local time, giving 12h 21m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (7.88, -11.19) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kenema.
Kenema runs on Africa/Freetown, 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/Freetown is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Freetown keeps pointing at Freetown time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
