About the time in Merikit
Sunrise today lands at 06:42 and sunset at 06:50 local time, giving 12h 08m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (0.85, 34.11) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Merikit.
Merikit follows the civil time used across its region of Uganda; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
The zone identifier Africa/Kampala is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Kampala keeps pointing at Kampala time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
