How Kaduna Keeps Time

Kaduna keeps WAT, UTC+1. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Kaduna; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Kaduna runs on the Africa/Lagos zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+1 right now. There is no daylight saving here, so that offset holds all year and the difference to other places only changes when they move their own clocks.

The sun rises in Kaduna at 6:20 am today and sets at 6:08 pm — 11 hours 48 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 12:14 pm. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (10.52, 7.44), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Kaduna has about 12 hours 44 minutes of daylight in June and 11 hours 30 minutes in December. The difference is about 1 hour 14 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.

The whole of Nigeria keeps one time, so the clock on this page is also the clock in Abuja and in every other city listed below.
