- Islamic midnight
- 23:16Halfway between Maghrib and Fajr

Ramadan timetable for El CerritoEl Cerrito, the Sun and the clock
El Cerrito is in California and has about 24,000 people. The nearest larger city is Richmond, 4 km to the northwest. El Cerrito lies 2.3° west of the 120° W meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 9 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:09, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:09.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in El Cerrito: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 76° above the horizon in June and only 29° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in El Cerrito range from 9h 32m in December to 14h 48m in June, a difference of 5h 16m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them.
