At 12 degrees north, Gabú has sunrise between about 6:25am and 7:10am and sunset between 6:35pm and 7:15pm, with minimal seasonal variation. GMT is geographically reasonable: the town sits near 14.2 degrees west longitude, where UTC-1 might be slightly more solar-accurate, but the alignment with neighboring countries makes the shared clock practical.
Gabú is a market town at the crossroads of trade routes between Senegal, Guinea, and the Guinean coast. The town’s weekly market is the largest in eastern Guinea-Bissau, drawing traders from all three countries. All three share the same UTC+0 clock, which simplifies the cross-border commerce considerably compared to regions where timezone boundaries cut across trade routes.
