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

Athlone, the Sun and the clock

Athlone is in Western Cape and has about 240,000 people. The nearest larger city is Cape Town, 9 km to the west-northwest. Athlone lies 11.5° west of the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 46 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:46, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Athlone: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 79° above the horizon in December and only 33° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Athlone range from 9h 53m in June to 14h 25m in December, a difference of 4h 32m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Athlone is in the southern hemisphere, its longest days come in December and January, and so do its longest fasts whenever Ramadan falls then.

Maghrib time Athlone 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 Athlone, calculated with the same method.
