Liwonde is located 197 km south-east of Lilongwe, so Dhuhr in Liwonde is called roughly 6 minutes earlier than in Lilongwe. This difference comes from longitude: every degree of longitude shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Liwonde.
