Somerset East, the Sun and the clock

Somerset East is in Eastern Cape and has about 23,000 people. Somerset East lies 4.4° west of the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 18 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:18, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Somerset East: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 81° above the horizon in December and only 34° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Somerset East range from 10h 0m in June to 14h 18m in December, a difference of 4h 18m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Somerset East is in the southern hemisphere, its longest days come in December and January, and so do its longest fasts whenever Ramadan falls then.
