South Sudan became independent on 9 July 2011, making Juba the most recently established national capital in the world. The country joined the UN five days later as its 193rd member.
The clock: Juba moved from UTC+3 to UTC+2 in February 2021, back in line with Khartoum, which had made the same change in 2017.
Juba lies at 31.6°E. Its time zone, UTC+2, is built around the 30°E meridian. The 1.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 6 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:54 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+2 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 12h 24m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 50m. The swing between them is 34 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 Juba the sun comes up earliest on 23 October at 05:38, while the latest sunset waits until 20 July at 18:11. 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 Juba 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.
