A Capital on the Border

Lomé sits directly on the frontier with Ghana — the border runs along the western edge of the city — making it one of the very few national capitals placed on an international boundary.

The clock: Lomé keeps UTC+0, the same as Accra 180 km west, so the border here changes the currency and the language but not the hour.

Lomé lies at 1.2°E. Its time zone, UTC+0, is built around the prime meridian (0°). The 1.2° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 5 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:55 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 29m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h 46m. The swing between them is 43 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 Lomé the sun comes up earliest on 25 May at 05:39, while the latest sunset waits until 19 July at 18:14. 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 Lomé 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.
