Differences in apparent daylight across the county come from local position, terrain, cloud and horizon conditions, not from different clock settings.

Sunrise and daylight in Nyamira

Nyamira is close to the equator, so daylight duration changes less dramatically through the year than it does in places far to the north or south. Sunrise and sunset still shift with the date, however. The Sun does not rise at precisely the same clock time every morning.

A sunrise listing should be read for a particular date and location. Times calculated for Nyamira town may differ slightly from those for Keroka or Nyansiongo because longitude, elevation and the visible horizon affect what an observer experiences. Hills, buildings and cloud can delay the moment when direct sunlight becomes visible.

For an early journey, outdoor job or photograph, check that day’s sunrise rather than relying on a remembered seasonal time. Civil dawn begins before sunrise and may provide usable light, but it is not the same event as the Sun appearing above the horizon.
