About the time in Songwe
Sunrise today lands at 06:56 and sunset at 06:47 local time, giving 11h 51m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-9.01, 32.80) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Songwe.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Songwe day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 06:00–14:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
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.
