About the time in Riyadh
Riyadh sits at latitude 15.58, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 33m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:36 and sunset at 06:09 local time, giving 12h 33m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (15.58, 32.57) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Riyadh.
Riyadh runs on Africa/Khartoum, which puts the city UTC +2 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.
