About the time in Selem
Selem follows the civil time used across its region of Tanzania; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:25 and sunset at 06:23 local time, giving 11h 58m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-5.06, 39.72) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Selem.
The zone identifier Africa/Dar_es_Salaam is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Dar_es_Salaam keeps pointing at Dar es Salaam time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
