About the time in Sowau
Sowau sits at latitude -10.57, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 11h 49m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:55 and sunset at 05:44 local time, giving 11h 49m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-10.57, 123.38) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Sowau.
Sowau runs on Asia/Makassar, which puts the city UTC +8 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.
