Arusha lies at 36.7°E. Its time zone, UTC+3, is built around the 45°E meridian. The 8.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 33 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:33 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+3 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 19m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 56m. The swing between them is 23 minutes. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Arusha the sun comes up earliest on 7 November at 06:10, while the latest sunset waits until 7 February at 18:54.

The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Arusha that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
