How Léo's prayer times are worked out

From Léo, the Qibla is 70° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,606 km (2,862 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Léo's own coordinates (11.10°N, 2.11°W), not a national average. That is why Léo's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Léo timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Léo lies well west inside its Ouagadougou time zone. So the sun peaks about 17 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:06 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 05m near June down to 12h 44m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Léo come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Koudougou, Ouagadougou and Houndé. Each is only a few minutes off Léo's clock.
