What time is it in Bandundu Province right now?
The time in Bandundu Province, DR Congo is 5:22 pm, 17:22 on a 24 hour clock, on Sunday September 27, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Africa/Kinshasa rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Bandundu Province sits at 3.32 degrees south and 17.38 degrees east, within eight degrees of the equator and 369 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 15.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 2.4 degrees east of that line. Those 2.4 degrees are worth 9 minutes 31 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 11:41 am rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Moon phase over Bandundu Province tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 16.5 days into its cycle and about 96% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 5:11 am Kinshasa time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 4:49 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Bandundu Province clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Bandundu Province
There is no clock change scheduled in Africa/Kinshasa within the next 400 days, so Bandundu Province stays at UTC+1 for the whole of that stretch.
That makes Bandundu Province an easy city to schedule against: a meeting fixed at a given hour here holds its relationship to UTC all year, and only the other end of the call can move.

The antipode of Bandundu Province
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Bandundu Province, DR Congo and you come out at 3.32 degrees north, 162.62 degrees west. That point is in the North Pacific Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Hilo, Hawaii, 2,000 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 6:22 am on Sunday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 3.32 degrees south becomes 3.32 degrees north, and 17.38 degrees east becomes 162.62 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Bandundu Province is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-11, roughly twelve hours from Bandundu Province, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.

Sun and moon in Bandundu Province today
The sun is up in Bandundu Province for 12 hours 7 minutes today, from 5:38 am to 5:45 pm. The moon sets in Bandundu Province at 5:58 am and comes up again at 6:27 pm. The next phase is the last quarter on October 3, 2026. The moon is full, or as near to it as makes no difference, and the whole of the face turned towards us is lit.
| Sun | Time in Bandundu Province |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 4:29 am |
| Nautical dawn | 4:53 am |
| Civil dawn | 5:17 am |
| Sunrise | 5:38 am |
| Solar noon | 11:41 am |
| Sunset | 5:45 pm |
| Civil dusk | 6:06 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 6:30 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 6:54 pm |
Twilight is graded by how far the sun has dropped below the horizon. Civil twilight ends six degrees down, which is roughly the point at which you need a light to read outside. Nautical twilight ends at twelve degrees, when the horizon at sea stops being usable for a sextant sight. Astronomical twilight ends at eighteen degrees, which is full darkness for an observer.
| Light band | Time in Bandundu Province | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 5:17 am to 5:25 am | 0h 08m |
| Morning golden hour | 5:25 am to 6:05 am | 0h 40m |
| Evening golden hour | 5:18 pm to 5:58 pm | 0h 40m |
| Evening blue hour | 5:58 pm to 6:06 pm | 0h 08m |
Golden hour is the stretch with the sun between six degrees above the horizon and four below it, and blue hour runs from there down to six degrees below. Neither is literally an hour: each is as long as the sun takes to cross those few degrees, which is minutes near the equator and can be most of the evening at high latitude.
| Moon | Reading in Bandundu Province |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 6:27 pm |
| Moonset | 5:58 am |
| Phase | waning gibbous, waning |
| Illumination | 99% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 16.3 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 376,600 km |
Moonrise and moonset are computed to the moment the moon's upper edge touches a flat horizon, allowing for refraction, for the size of the disc and for the moon's parallax, which together put the centre of the moon at 0.125 degrees above the horizon at the instant it rises. That is a different horizon from the one sunrise uses, and it is why a moonrise time cannot be worked out with a sunrise formula.

Prayer times in Bandundu Province
Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Bandundu Province, DR Congo at 3.32 degrees south, 17.38 degrees east, on the clock of Africa/Kinshasa. The method is Muslim World League (Muslim World League, Mecca), which puts Fajr at 18.0 degrees below the horizon and Isha at 17.0 degrees. Asr uses the Standard shadow ratio of 1, which is the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali position.

Dhuhr is solar noon at Bandundu Province, DR Congo, the instant the Sun crosses the local meridian, so it moves with longitude inside the time zone and with the equation of time through the year rather than sitting at a fixed clock reading. Sunrise and Maghrib are the standard refracted horizon, the same 0.833 degrees every almanac uses. Every figure above is computed from the Sun's position for this exact coordinate; none of it is copied from a table.
Different methods disagree, and that is expected rather than an error. Fajr under ISNA at 15 degrees comes later than Fajr under Egyptian General Authority of Survey at 19.5 degrees, by twenty minutes or more depending on latitude and season. Follow whichever your local mosque follows.
Qibla direction from Bandundu Province
From Bandundu Province, DR Congo the qibla is 40.6 degrees on a true compass, which is northeast, or 40.6 degrees east of due north. The Kaaba is 3,679 km away, 2,286 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Bandundu Province, DR Congo to 21.4225 degrees north, 39.8262 degrees east, which is the Kaaba inside Masjid al-Haram.
The bearing is measured from true north, not magnetic north. A magnetic compass points at the magnetic pole, and the difference between the two can be anything from nothing to more than twenty degrees depending where you are, so check your compass reading against magnetic declination for Bandundu Province, DR Congo before you use it. A phone compass set to true north, or the shadow of a vertical stick at local solar noon, avoids the problem entirely.

A live clock showing the current time in Bandundu Province, DR Congo, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Africa/Kinshasa from the time zone database, so it stays right when Bandundu Province changes its clocks, and it shows UTC+1 to every visitor wherever they are reading from. It is a plain iframe: no account, no script to install, nothing to pay.
The box needs 183 pixels of height for these settings, which is what the code above sets, and the numbers show at full size from 305 pixels of width up. Narrower than that they scale down rather than wrapping, and turning a line off makes the box shorter. The code updates with either.
