About the time in Kourou
Around 26,522 people live in Kourou, 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 06:26 and sunset at 06:41 local time, giving 12h 16m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (5.16, -52.64) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kourou.
Kourou runs on America/Cayenne, which puts the city UTC −3 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.
