The coordinates 2.86°N, 30.84°E put Aru roughly 318 km from the equator in the deep tropics of the Equatorial Hemisphere, which is why the page expects year-round daylight that barely shifts between seasons.
Today the sun rises around 05:47 AM and sets around 06:00 PM in Aru — about 12h 13m of daylight. Congo-Kinshasa stays on standard time here, so UTC+02:00 is stable through the year.
Arua (19 km from Aru) gives this page its nearest commuter and travel cluster, with 3 curated airport pages indexed for Congo-Kinshasa.
Aru planners should mark 2026-05-01 (Labour Day); that's the next national holiday signal in view.
