Luanda topped global cost-of-living rankings for expatriates repeatedly in the 2010s, driven by oil money and an almost total dependence on imports. The rankings have since moved on; the imports have not.
The clock: Luanda keeps UTC+1. Angola is among the largest oil producers in Africa, and the city grew from around 500,000 to over eight million during and after the civil war.
Luanda lies at 13.2°E. Its time zone, UTC+1, is built around the 15°E meridian. The 1.8° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 7 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:07 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+1 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 38m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 36m. The swing between them is 1h 2m. 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 Luanda the sun comes up earliest on 15 November at 05:37, while the latest sunset waits until 30 January at 18:35. 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 Luanda 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.
