Convert time from Sukuta
Sukuta is in the Africa/Banjul timezone (GMT/UTC+0), with no daylight saving time observed. Sukuta is a town in the Kombo North district of the Gambia, west of Brikama and within the Greater Banjul Area. It is one of the towns that has grown significantly as Banjulβs urban area has expanded outward, developing from a rural settlement into a suburban and semi-urban community within the capital region.
Gambia runs on Greenwich Mean Time (UTC+0) all year. The country briefly switched to West Africa Time (UTC+1) in 2012, then returned to GMT in 2015. The reversal was driven by practical considerations: Gambiaβs geographic position and its close economic ties with Senegal, which uses GMT, made the alignment more natural despite Senegal officially being on WAT.
