About the time in Mombasa
Sunrise today lands at 06:24 and sunset at 06:24 local time, giving 12h 00m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-4.05, 39.66) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Mombasa.
Around 1,208,333 people live in Mombasa, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier Africa/Nairobi is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Nairobi keeps pointing at Nairobi time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
