About the time in Wau
Wau sits at latitude 7.70, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 20m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:01 and sunset at 06:21 local time, giving 12h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (7.70, 27.99) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Wau.
Around 127,384 people live in Wau, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
