About the time in Watamu
Watamu runs on Africa/Nairobi, 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.
Around 27,857 people live in Watamu, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:22 and sunset at 06:23 local time, giving 12h 01m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (-3.35, 40.02) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Watamu.
