Kigali experiences a relatively consistent day length throughout the year, varying only by about 13 minutes between the shortest and longest days.
The sunrise times range from 5:39 AM to 6:08 AM, while sunset times span from 5:50 PM to 6:18 PM, indicating a narrow window of change in daylight hours.
This slight variation is likely due to Kigali's proximity to the equator.
