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

Benin City, the Sun and the clock

Benin City is the main city of Edo State, home to about 1,800,000 people. Benin City lies 9.4° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 37 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:37, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

Benin City 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 Benin City, from 11h 45m to 12h 29m through the year, so prayer times move only a little from season to season.

Maghrib time Benin City 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 Benin City, calculated with the same method.
