At 15° latitude, Balaka is close to the equator, so prayer times barely move. In 2026, Maghrib stays between 17:17 (May 28) and 18:18 (January 16), a spread of only 1 h 01 min over the whole year, and Fajr between 03:42 and 04:51.
Balaka does not change its clocks in 2026: prayer times drift from day to day without any jump.
In the southern hemisphere the longest days fall in December: in Balaka, daylight lasts 13 h 01 min on December 14 and 11 h 14 min on June 18.
What latitude changes in Balaka
At 15° latitude, the Sun sinks more than 18° below the horizon every night of the year: Fajr and Isha at 18° exist all year round in Balaka.
When the angle is not reached, the “Muslim World League” method uses the middle of the night: in 2026, the displayed Fajr comes from this rule on no day.
Times follow the “Muslim World League” method by default (Fajr at 18°, Isha at 17°), as no convention is known for Malawi.
