About the time in Kisumu
Around 1,155,574 people live in Kisumu, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:41 and sunset at 06:48 local time, giving 12h 07m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-0.07, 34.64) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kisumu.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Kisumu 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.
