Bamako is the capital of Mali, with a population of about 4,227,569. It uses the Greenwich Mean Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Bamako).
Bamako 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 Abidjan, Casablanca, Dakar, Kumasi, Ouagadougou, Lomé.
Because Bamako lies at 12.61° N, 7.98° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 52 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 23 min.
