About the time in Tarrafal
Tarrafal sits at latitude 15.28, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 34m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Tarrafal runs on Atlantic/Cape_Verde, which puts the city UTC −1 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.
The zone identifier Atlantic/Cape_Verde is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Atlantic/Cape_Verde keeps pointing at Cape Verde time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
