About Teshi Old Town Time Zone
Teshi Old Town uses the Africa/Accra IANA time zone, which is the standard time zone for Ghana. Its offset is UTC+0 all year, meaning local time in Teshi Old Town is aligned with Coordinated Universal Time and does not shift seasonally.
Ghana does not observe daylight saving time, so Teshi Old Town stays on UTC+0 in January, June, and December. This makes scheduling more predictable than in countries where clocks change twice a year; however, the time difference between Teshi Old Town and cities like London or New York can still change seasonally because those locations do observe DST.
Teshi Old Town is part of the Greater Accra urban area on Ghana’s southeastern coast near Accra, so its timekeeping is the same as the capital and the rest of the country. It shares the same UTC offset as nearby West African locations that also remain on UTC year-round, but differs from neighboring regions such as Nigeria (UTC+1) and from Côte d’Ivoire, which, like Ghana, also uses UTC+0 without daylight saving time.
