Juba is the capital of South Sudan, with a population of about 450,000. It uses the Central Africa Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Juba).
Juba 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 Juba lies at 4.85° N, 31.58° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 24 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 51 min.
