Macuse

Eastern Africa

Macuse is a coastal town in Zambezia Province, a short distance northeast of the river port of Quelimane. Wikipedia gives coordinates for Macuse that fall at about 17.71 degrees south and 37.19 degrees east. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model reads about 14 metres above sea level at that point. Like the rest of Mozambique, Macuse keeps Central Africa Time, which is two hours ahead of UTC all year. The English Wikipedia article about Macuse is brief and records little further detail, so nothing beyond what is stated here is claimed for it.
