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

Onitsha, the Sun and the clock

Onitsha is in Anambra and has about 1,600,000 people. Onitsha lies 8.2° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 33 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:33, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

Onitsha 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 Onitsha, from 11h 46m to 12h 29m through the year, so prayer times move only a little from season to season.

Maghrib time Onitsha 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 Onitsha, calculated with the same method.
