How prayer times are calculated in French Guiana
Pages for French Guiana use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC−3). In the capital Cayenne, Fajr is about 5:03 AM and Maghrib 6:43 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:17 AM and Maghrib at 6:23 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 50 min to 12 h 25 min.
Our cities in French Guiana stretch from Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni in the west to Rémire-Montjoly in the east, and from Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni in the north to Matoury in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Rémire-Montjoly about 7 minutes before Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Cayenne cannot replace that of your own city.
