About the time in Tanga
Tanga sits at latitude -5.07, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 11m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Tanga runs on Africa/Dar_es_Salaam, which puts the city UTC +3 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:05 and sunset at 06:16 local time, giving 12h 11m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-5.07, 39.10) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Tanga.
