Clocks change on 24 April and 29 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. How times are calculated
Ar Riyāḑ, the Sun and the clock
Ar Riyāḑ is in Kafr el-Sheikh and has about 24,000 people. The nearest larger city is Kafr ash Shaykh, 15 km to the south. Ar Riyāḑ lies almost on the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest close to 12:00 on the clock, around 11:56 on average. Dhuhr begins just after that moment. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 12:56.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Ar Riyāḑ: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 82° above the horizon in June and only 35° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Ar Riyāḑ range from 10h 7m in December to 14h 11m in June, a difference of 4h 4m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
Maghrib time Ar Riyāḑ compared with nearby cities
Prayer times shift with longitude: about 4 minutes for every degree east or west. Here is how today's Fajr and Maghrib in nearby places compare with Ar Riyāḑ, calculated with the same method.
