Did You Know?

The clock: Mamoudzou keeps UTC+3. Its lagoon, about 1,100 square kilometres, is among the largest enclosed lagoons in the world.
Mamoudzou lies at 45.2°E. Its time zone, UTC+3, is built around the 45°E meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 11:59, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. The zone holds UTC+3 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 53m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 22m. The swing between them is 1h 30m. 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 Mamoudzou the sun comes up earliest on 20 November at 05:23, while the latest sunset waits until 25 January at 18:33. 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 Mamoudzou that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
