Urban centres and sunrise in Koungou

Mamoudzou is the territory’s main administrative and urban centre, and nearby Koungou is itself a major population centre. Dzaoudzi is another important centre on Petite-Terre. Their shared time zone allows a single local timetable to work across Mayotte.

Sunrise requires a more local reading. Its calculated time varies by date, and Koungou’s coordinates are not identical to those of Mamoudzou or Dzaoudzi. Even a sound calculation cannot include every obstruction on a particular street or slope.

Confirm that Koungou is the selected place. Use the date as observed locally. Read the result as UTC+3 unless another format is stated. Check the eastern view before relying on first visible light. Urban buildings, hills, and clouds can obscure the Sun around the calculated sunrise. For a practical departure time, nautical activity, or photography session, the astronomical value should be paired with local conditions.
