Brits does not change its clocks; times stay on Africa/Johannesburg all year. How times are calculated
Brits is in North West and has about 120,000 people. The nearest larger city is Soshanguve, 37 km to the east-northeast. Brits lies 2.2° west of the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 9 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:09, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Brits: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 88° above the horizon in December and only 41° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Brits range from 10h 32m in June to 13h 44m in December, a difference of 3h 12m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Brits is in the southern hemisphere, its longest days come in December and January, and so do its longest fasts whenever Ramadan falls then. At 1,118 m above sea level, Brits 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.
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 Brits, calculated with the same method.
