About the time in Praia
Praia runs on Atlantic/Cape_Verde, 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.
Around 137,868 people live in Praia, 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 06:20 and sunset at 06:54 local time, giving 12h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (14.93, -23.51) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Praia.
