How prayer times are calculated in São Tomé and Príncipe

Times for São Tomé and Príncipe 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). In the capital São Tomé, Fajr is about 4:15 AM and Maghrib 5:39 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 4:13 AM and Maghrib at 5:34 PM. Daylight there ranges from 12 h 06 min to 12 h 09 min.

Our cities in São Tomé and Príncipe stretch from São Tomé in the west to Santo António in the east, and from Santo António in the north to São Tomé in the south. With such a distance, the sun reaches its zenith in Santo António about 3 minutes before São Tomé, 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 São Tomé is no substitute for that of your own city.
