Harare is the capital of Zimbabwe, with a population of about 1,542,813. It uses the Central Africa Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Harare).
Harare does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+2 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 Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Lubumbashi, Lusaka, Pretoria.
Because Harare lies at 17.83° S, 31.05° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 11 h 04 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 13 h 12 min.
