About the time in Makuku
Makuku sits at latitude -15.05, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 43m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Makuku follows the civil time used across its region of Zambia; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
The zone identifier Africa/Lusaka is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Lusaka keeps pointing at Lusaka time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
