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

Empangeni, the Sun and the clock

Empangeni is in KwaZulu-Natal and has about 33,000 people. The nearest larger city is Richards Bay, 14 km to the east. Empangeni lies 1.9° east of the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest about 8 minutes before 12:00 on average, around 11:52, and Dhuhr comes earlier than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Empangeni: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 85° above the horizon in December and only 38° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Empangeni range from 10h 18m in June to 13h 59m in December, a difference of 3h 41m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Empangeni 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 Empangeni 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 Empangeni, calculated with the same method.
