Luanda is the capital of Angola, with a population of about 2,776,168. It uses the West Africa Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Luanda).

Luanda does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+1 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 Kinshasa, Lagos, Abuja, Algiers, Brazzaville, N'Djamena.

Because Luanda lies at 8.84° S, 13.23° E, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 11 h 37 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 12 h 39 min.
