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

Bloemfontein, the Sun and the clock

Bloemfontein is the main city of Free State, home to about 560,000 people. Bloemfontein lies 3.8° west of the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 15 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:15, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Bloemfontein: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 84° above the horizon in December and only 37° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Bloemfontein range from 10h 17m in June to 14h 0m in December, a difference of 3h 43m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Bloemfontein is in the southern hemisphere, its longest days come in December and January, and so do its longest fasts whenever Ramadan falls then. At 1,396 m above sea level, Bloemfontein sits on high ground. Times are calculated for a level horizon; from a hilltop or a tall building sunrise can come a little earlier and sunset a little later than listed, while mountains to the east or west do the opposite.

Maghrib time Bloemfontein 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 Bloemfontein, calculated with the same method.
