About the time in Kotawella
Kotawella follows the civil time used across its region of Sri Lanka; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Kotawella sits at latitude 7.36, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 19m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
The zone identifier Asia/Colombo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Colombo keeps pointing at Colombo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
