Did You Know?
Maputo's railway station was completed around 1916 with a copper dome, and is regularly listed among the most beautiful stations in the world. Its design is often attributed to Gustave Eiffel, though the connection is not documented.
The clock: Maputo keeps UTC+2. Mozambique's coastline runs about 2,500 km, and the city sits at its southern end, closer to Johannesburg than to most of its own country.
Maputo lies at 32.6°E. Its time zone, UTC+2, is built around the 30°E meridian. The 2.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 10 minutes behind the sun: solar noon arrives at about 11:50 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 46m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 10h 31m. The swing between them is 3h 15m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Maputo the sun comes up earliest on 1 December at 04:50, while the latest sunset waits until 13 January at 18:46. 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 Maputo that civil twilight runs about 23 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.
