    By the sun, noon in Dakar falls at about 1:10 PM (on average over the year). The city lies at 17.47° west, and every degree of longitude shifts the sun by 4 minutes. The clock runs well ahead of the sun here, so mornings stay dark late and evenings stay light late. See the sunrise and sunset times in Dakar.
