About the time in Porto-Novo
Around 264,320 people live in Porto-Novo, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:43 and sunset at 07:02 local time, giving 12h 18m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.50, 2.60) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Porto-Novo.
The zone identifier Africa/Porto-Novo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Porto-Novo keeps pointing at Porto-Novo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
