About the time in Ruwaneliya
Ruwaneliya sits at latitude 6.94, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 18m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:00 and sunset at 06:18 local time, giving 12h 18m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (6.94, 80.78) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ruwaneliya.
The zone identifier Asia/Colombo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Colombo keeps pointing at Colombo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
