Monrovia is the capital of Liberia, with a population of about 1,542,549. It uses the Greenwich Mean Time time zone (IANA identifier Africa/Monrovia).
Monrovia 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, Bamako, Casablanca, Dakar, Kumasi, Ouagadougou.
Because Monrovia lies at 6.30° N, 10.80° W, the length of the day changes only slightly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 12 h 29 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 11 h 46 min.
