How prayer times are calculated in the Republic of the Congo
Times for Republic of the Congo 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+1). In the capital Brazzaville, Fajr is around 4:30 AM and Maghrib 6:08 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 4:49 AM and Maghrib at 5:57 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 53 min to 12 h 22 min.
Our cities in the Republic of the Congo stretch from Loango in the west to Bétou in the east, and from Mindouli in the north to Pointe-Noire in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Bétou about 27 minutes before Loango, 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 Brazzaville is no substitute for that of your own city.
