Sunset and sunrise times in Camayenne, Guinea

Clock noon and solar noon are 42 minutes apart here — the sun is highest at 12:41 standard time. That gap comes from the time zone's width, not the latitude.

From sunset to full civil darkness is 21 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 9.5°N accounts for the 3-minute difference.

Summer and winter days differ by 1h 6m here, less seasonal variation than almost anywhere else in Guinea we track.

Between solstices the sunset walks 48° across the horizon — WSW in midwinter, WNW in midsummer — which is why a fixed viewpoint works only part of the year. Today's bearing is W.

Across October the sunset moves 14 minutes earlier, averaging about 27 seconds a day.

Being inside the tropics means two zenith passages a year, 15 April and 29 August, when the sun is straight up at solar noon rather than merely high.

The times barely move this week: the shortest day of the year falls on 21 December, in 2 months, so day length is changing by under a minute a day. Sunset shifts just 6 minutes earlier over the next fortnight.
