Margate does not change its clocks; times stay on Africa/Johannesburg all year. How times are calculated
Margate, the Sun and the clock
Margate is in KwaZulu-Natal and has about 34,000 people. Margate lies almost on the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest close to 12:00 on the clock, around 11:59 on average. Dhuhr begins just after that moment.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in Margate: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 83° above the horizon in December and only 36° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Margate range from 10h 9m in June to 14h 9m in December, a difference of 4h 0m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Margate 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 Margate 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 Margate, calculated with the same method.
