Time & prayer in Lima
Local time in Lima falls within the America/Lima 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 12.0° in the southern hemisphere, Lima's day length varies gently across the seasons. 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 Lima 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. For the full picture you can open the monthly timetable, the live prayer clock, or the Qibla direction for Lima from the tools on this site.
