Dakar is located at 14.69°N, 17.44°W. Its latitude determines how dramatically daylight hours change through the year.
The city uses the Africa/Dakar timezone (GMT). It does not observe Daylight Saving Time, so solar times shift gradually through the year without abrupt clock changes.
Solar noon — the moment the sun reaches its highest point in the sky — occurs when the sun crosses the local meridian. In Dakar this falls around 13:08 in mid-summer and 12:59 in December, reflecting UTC offset and any DST adjustments.
