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

Richmond, the Sun and the clock

Richmond is in KwaZulu-Natal and has about 32,000 people. The nearest larger city is Pietermaritzburg, 31 km to the north-northeast. Richmond 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 Richmond: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 84° above the horizon in December and only 37° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Richmond range from 10h 13m in June to 14h 4m in December, a difference of 3h 51m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond, calculated with the same method.
