About the time in Meru
Meru runs on Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, which puts the city UTC +3 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Meru day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Meru sits at latitude -3.31, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 01m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
