About the time in Thunukkai
Thunukkai follows the civil time used across its region of Sri Lanka; there is no separate local reckoning inside the city.
Sunrise today lands at 06:00 and sunset at 06:23 local time, giving 12h 22m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (9.16, 80.26) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Thunukkai.
Thunukkai sits at latitude 9.16, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 22m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
