Santo Domingo is located 228 km east of Havana, so Dhuhr in Santo Domingo comes about 9 minutes earlier than in Havana. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude moves solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital is not accurate in Santo Domingo.
