About the time in Lilongwe
Lilongwe sits at latitude -13.97, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 42m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:57 and sunset at 05:39 local time, giving 11h 42m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-13.97, 33.79) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lilongwe.
Around 1,115,815 people live in Lilongwe, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
