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

Somerset West, the Sun and the clock

Somerset West is in Western Cape and has about 230,000 people. Somerset West lies 11.2° west of the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 45 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:45, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Somerset West: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 79° above the horizon in December and only 32° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Somerset West range from 9h 53m in June to 14h 26m in December, a difference of 4h 33m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Somerset West 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 Somerset West compared with nearby cities
