Sunrise and sunset in Kampala
Kampala lies close to the equator (0.3° N), so day length barely changes: about 12 h 06 min at the December solstice and 12 h 08 min at the June solstice.
On standard time the sun is highest at about 12:50 on average — 50 minutes after 12:00 — because the clocks are set ahead of local solar time, which gives long, light evenings.
