Accra is the capital of Ghana, with a population of about 1,963,264. It uses the Greenwich Mean Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Accra).

Accra does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+0 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.

Other cities on the same clock include Kumasi.

Because Accra lies at 5.56° N, 0.20° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 27 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 48 min.
