Did You Know?
Cape Coast Castle was a holding fort for the transatlantic slave trade, and the passage from its dungeons to the waiting ships is known as the Door of No Return. It is now a UNESCO site and a destination for diaspora pilgrimage.
The clock: Cape Coast keeps UTC+0, essentially on the Greenwich meridian, which passes through Ghana a little to the east.
Cape Coast lies at 1.3°W. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 1.3° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 5 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:05 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+0 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 25m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 50m. The swing between them is 36 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 Cape Coast the sun comes up earliest on 23 October at 05:50, while the latest sunset waits until 20 July at 18:23. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Cape Coast that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
