Saint Lawrence lies 33 km north-west of Valletta, so Dhuhr in Saint Lawrence is called about 1 minute later than in Valletta. This difference comes from longitude: each degree shifts solar noon by about four minutes, and that is why the timetable of the capital should not be used in Saint Lawrence.
