Ramadan timetable for West Des MoinesWest Des Moines, the Sun and the clock
West Des Moines is in Iowa and has about 64,000 people. The nearest larger city is Des Moines, 9 km to the east-northeast. West Des Moines lies 3.7° west of the 90° W meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 15 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:15, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:15.
The Sun never stands straight overhead in West Des Moines: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 72° above the horizon in June and only 25° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in West Des Moines range from just 9h 10m in December to 15h 12m in June, a difference of 6h 2m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
