About the time in Kenya
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Kenya day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 06:27 and sunset at 06:35 local time, giving 12h 09m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (1.00, 38.00) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kenya.
The zone identifier Africa/Nairobi is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Nairobi keeps pointing at Nairobi time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
