A Raid That Took Ninety Minutes

On 4 July 1976 Israeli commandos flew about 4,000 km to Entebbe airport, freed over 100 hostages from a hijacked airliner and were gone in roughly 90 minutes. The old terminal building still stands.

The clock: Entebbe keeps UTC+3 essentially on the equator, on a peninsula in Lake Victoria.

Entebbe lies at 32.5°E. Its time zone, UTC+3, is built around the 45°E meridian. The 12.5° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 50 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:50 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+3 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 7m of daylight. The shortest is 12 March, with 12h 7m. The swing between them is 1 minute. 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 Entebbe the sun comes up earliest on 2 November at 06:30, while the latest sunset waits until 14 February at 19:08. 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 Entebbe that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.

Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
