Sunrise near the Saloum

Sunrise must be calculated for a specific day. The region’s spread from inland districts toward coastal and estuarine landscapes also means that one town’s result is not an exact substitute for another’s.

A time service usually reports astronomical sunrise for an unobstructed horizon. Trees, buildings, haze and the shape of the land can change when the solar disc first becomes visible to an observer. Choose Fatick, Foundiougne, Gossas, Sokone or the nearest available place.

Verify the calendar date before relying on the result. Keep the time in GMT, with no daylight saving adjustment. Allow for the real horizon when planning visual observations.
