Farim, Bissorã, Mansôa and the regional map

Oio is a region in north-central Guinea Bissau. Farim is its regional capital and lies near the Cacheu River. Bissorã and Mansôa are also prominent towns, each serving as an important local centre for surrounding communities.

Nhacra is another recognised sector and settlement in the region. Administrative names, settlement names, and sector names sometimes overlap, which can make a simple city ranking misleading. A place finder may also use spelling variants or omit Portuguese diacritics.

Farim — the regional capital. Bissorã — one of Oio’s principal towns. Mansôa — a major settlement and sector centre. Nhacra — a settlement in the southern part of the region. For time-zone purposes, the distinction between these places is irrelevant: all follow UTC+0. For sunrise, the distinction matters because each locality has its own coordinates.

Planning around sunrise in Oio

A sunrise listing is valid for a chosen date and point on the map. Farim’s value should not be treated as the exact value for Bissorã, Mansôa, or Nhacra. The differences may be modest, but precision requires the destination’s coordinates.

Sunrise and sunset continue to shift while the civil clock stays fixed. This contrast is normal: time zones are established for shared public time, whereas solar events follow Earth’s rotation, orbit, and the observer’s latitude and longitude.

The listed astronomical event also differs from practical first light. The sky brightens before sunrise, while trees, buildings, low cloud, or an uneven horizon may prevent the Sun from becoming visible at the calculated moment. Consult the daily entry before arranging an early trip, outdoor task, or photograph, and allow a margin suitable for local conditions.
