About the time in Lira
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Lira 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 06:46 and sunset at 06:57 local time, giving 12h 11m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (2.25, 32.90) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Lira.
The zone identifier Africa/Kampala is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Kampala keeps pointing at Kampala time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
