About the time in Takoradi
Around 389,114 people live in Takoradi, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Takoradi sits at latitude 4.90, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 15m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
The zone identifier Africa/Accra is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Africa/Accra keeps pointing at Accra time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
