About the time in Manta
Manta sits at latitude 10.36, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 24m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Manta follows the civil time used across its region of Benin; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
The zone identifier Africa/Porto-Novo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Porto-Novo keeps pointing at Porto-Novo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
