About the time in São Tomé
The zone identifier Africa/Sao_Tome is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Sao_Tome keeps pointing at Sao Tome time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:32 and sunset at 05:40 local time, giving 12h 07m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (0.34, 6.73) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in São Tomé.
Around 53,300 people live in São Tomé, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
