About the time in Lusaka
Around 2,212,301 people live in Lusaka, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Lusaka sits at latitude -15.41, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 40m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Lusaka day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 07:00–15:00 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.
