Time & prayer in Lyon
Local time in Lyon falls within the Europe/Paris 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 45.8° in the northern hemisphere, Lyon's day length swings widely, with long summer evenings and short winter afternoons. 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 Lyon are calculated using the Union of Islamic Organisations of France. 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 Lyon from the tools on this site.
