About the time in Matola
Matola sits at latitude -25.96, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 19m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:13 and sunset at 05:33 local time, giving 11h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-25.96, 32.46) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Matola.
The zone identifier Africa/Maputo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Maputo keeps pointing at Maputo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
