Awka does not change its clocks; times stay on Africa/Lagos all year. How times are calculated

Awka, the Sun and the clock

Awka is the main city of Anambra, home to about 170,000 people. The nearest larger city is Onitsha, 32 km to the west-southwest. Awka lies 7.9° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 32 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:32, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

Awka lies within the tropics. Around 6 April and 7 September the Sun passes straight overhead at Dhuhr, and upright objects cast almost no shadow at noon. Day length hardly changes in Awka, from 11h 46m to 12h 29m through the year, so prayer times move only a little from season to season.

Maghrib time Awka 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 Awka, calculated with the same method.
