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

Ventersdorp, the Sun and the clock

Ventersdorp is in North West and has about 26,000 people. The nearest larger city is Potchefstroom, 53 km to the south-southeast. Ventersdorp lies 3.2° west of the 30° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 13 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:13, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Ventersdorp: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 87° above the horizon in December and only 40° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Ventersdorp range from 10h 29m in June to 13h 47m in December, a difference of 3h 18m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Ventersdorp is in the southern hemisphere, its longest days come in December and January, and so do its longest fasts whenever Ramadan falls then. At 1,485 m above sea level, Ventersdorp 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 Ventersdorp 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 Ventersdorp, calculated with the same method.
