Addis Ababa is located at 9.02°N, 38.75°E. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Africa/Addis_Ababa timezone (GMT+3). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Addis Ababa this falls around 12:24 in mid-summer and 12:15 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
