Did You Know?

A Waterfall You Can Hear From Ten Kilometres

Victoria Falls drops about 108 metres across a 1,700-metre width, producing the largest single sheet of falling water on Earth. Its local name, Mosi-oa-Tunya, means the smoke that thunders; the spray is visible from 50 km away.

The clock: Livingstone keeps UTC+2, and Zimbabwe on the far side of the bridge keeps the same — the falls are one border where nobody has to change a watch.

Livingstone lies at 25.9°E. Its time zone, UTC+2, is built around the 30°E meridian. The 4.1° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 17 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:17 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+2 all year — there is no daylight saving here.

The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 13h 12m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 3m. The swing between them is 2h 8m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.

The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Livingstone the sun comes up earliest on 25 November at 05:32, while the latest sunset waits until 20 January at 18:58. 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 Livingstone that civil twilight runs about 22 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.
