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

Makwassie, the Sun and the clock

Makwassie is in North West and has about 16,000 people. The nearest larger city is Bothaville, 62 km to the east. Makwassie lies 4° west of the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 16 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:16, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Makwassie: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 86° above the horizon in December and only 39° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Makwassie range from 10h 25m in June to 13h 52m in December, a difference of 3h 27m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Makwassie is in the southern hemisphere, its longest days come in December and January, and so do its longest fasts whenever Ramadan falls then. At 1,315 m above sea level, Makwassie 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 Makwassie 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 Makwassie, calculated with the same method.
