About the time in Marakei
The zone identifier Pacific/Tarawa is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Pacific/Tarawa keeps pointing at Tarawa time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Marakei sits at latitude 2.01, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 10m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Clocks in Marakei stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +12 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Kiribati.
