00 — Overview

Time & prayer in Kandahar

Local time in Kandahar falls within the Asia/Kabul 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 31.6° in the northern hemisphere, Kandahar's day length varies clearly between the long days of summer and the shorter days of 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 Kandahar are calculated using the University of Islamic Sciences, Karachi. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn.
