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

Welkom, the Sun and the clock

Welkom is in Free State and has about 430,000 people. Welkom lies 3.3° 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 Welkom: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 85° above the horizon in December and only 39° in June, so noon shadows are much longer in June. Days in Welkom range from 10h 22m in June to 13h 55m in December, a difference of 3h 33m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. As Welkom is in the southern hemisphere, its longest days come in December and January, and so do its longest fasts whenever Ramadan falls then. At 1,376 m above sea level, Welkom 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 Welkom 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 Welkom, calculated with the same method.
