About the time in Pointe-Noire
Pointe-Noire runs on Africa/Brazzaville, which puts the city UTC +1 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.
Clocks in Pointe-Noire stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +1 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Republic of the Congo.
The zone identifier Africa/Brazzaville is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Brazzaville keeps pointing at Brazzaville time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
