About the time in Mbeya
The zone identifier Africa/Dar_es_Salaam is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Dar_es_Salaam keeps pointing at Dar es Salaam time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Mbeya sits at latitude -8.90, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 51m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:53 and sunset at 06:45 local time, giving 11h 51m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-8.90, 33.45) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Mbeya.
