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

Polokwane, the Sun and the clock

Polokwane is the main city of Limpopo, home to about 270,000 people. Polokwane 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 12:02 on average. Dhuhr begins just after that moment.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Polokwane: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 90° above the horizon in December and only 43° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Polokwane range from 10h 39m in June to 13h 37m in December, a difference of 2h 58m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Polokwane 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, Polokwane 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 Polokwane 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 Polokwane, calculated with the same method.
