Time & prayer in Dodoma

Local time in Dodoma falls within the Africa/Dar_es_Salaam zone. The clock and date at the top of this page update live to this timezone, so the readings stay accurate wherever you are.

Sitting at a latitude of about 6.2° in the southern hemisphere, Dodoma's day length stays remarkably steady all year, with only small differences between summer and winter. That is why its sunrise, sunset and day-length figures change from month to month, and why prayer times here follow the position of the sun rather than a fixed clock.

The prayer times shown for Dodoma are calculated using the Muslim World League. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn.
