Current time in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso right now
It is 12:26 am in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 right now, on Sunday, September 27, 2026. The city keeps Africa/Ouagadougou, which is GMT at UTC+0, so Bobo-Dioulasso is on UTC itself, where it is 12:26 am. The sun rose in Bobo-Dioulasso at 6:06 am and sets at 6:10 pm, which is 12 hours 4 minutes of daylight.
What time is it in Bobo-Dioulasso right now?
The time in Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso is 12:26 am, 00:26 on a 24 hour clock, on Sunday September 27, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Africa/Ouagadougou rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Bobo-Dioulasso sits at 11.18 degrees north and 4.29 degrees west, inside the tropics, north of the equator and 1,243 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 0.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 4.3 degrees west of that line. Those 4.3 degrees are worth 17 minutes 11 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 12:08 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.
Bobo-Dioulasso time zone and UTC offset
The IANA zone for Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso is Africa/Ouagadougou. Right now it is running at UTC+0 and the abbreviation in force is GMT. Bobo-Dioulasso does not change its clocks at any point in the year. The offset stays at UTC+0 in January and in July alike, so no conversion involving Bobo-Dioulasso ever needs a seasonal footnote.

Moon phase over Bobo-Dioulasso tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 15.9 days into its cycle and about 99% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 4:11 am Ouagadougou time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 3:49 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Bobo-Dioulasso clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Bobo-Dioulasso
There is no clock change scheduled in Africa/Ouagadougou within the next 400 days, so Bobo-Dioulasso stays at UTC+0 for the whole of that stretch.
That makes Bobo-Dioulasso 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 Bobo-Dioulasso
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso and you come out at 11.18 degrees south, 175.71 degrees east. That point is near Suva, Fiji. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Suva, Fiji, 827 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 12:26 pm on Sunday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 11.18 degrees north becomes 11.18 degrees south, and 4.29 degrees west becomes 175.71 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Bobo-Dioulasso is one of the exceptions, with dry land on the far side. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC+12, roughly twelve hours from Bobo-Dioulasso, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Bobo-Dioulasso
Today the sun rises in Bobo-Dioulasso at 6:06 am and sets at 6:10 pm, giving 12 hours 4 minutes of daylight. The dedicated page for this city carries the month by month table, the longest and shortest days of 2026, the golden and blue hour bands at both ends of the day, and all three twilight stages: sunrise and sunset times in Bobo-Dioulasso.

Sun and moon in Bobo-Dioulasso today
The sun is up in Bobo-Dioulasso for 12 hours 4 minutes today, from 6:06 am to 6:10 pm. The moon sets in Bobo-Dioulasso at 6:35 am and comes up again at 6:45 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 Bobo-Dioulasso |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 4:56 am |
| Nautical dawn | 5:21 am |
| Civil dawn | 5:45 am |
| Sunrise | 6:06 am |
| Solar noon | 12:08 pm |
| Sunset | 6:10 pm |
| Civil dusk | 6:31 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 6:56 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 7:20 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 Bobo-Dioulasso | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 5:45 am to 5:53 am | 0h 08m |
| Morning golden hour | 5:53 am to 6:34 am | 0h 41m |
| Evening golden hour | 5:42 pm to 6:23 pm | 0h 41m |
| Evening blue hour | 6:23 pm to 6:31 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 Bobo-Dioulasso |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 6:45 pm |
| Moonset | 6:35 am |
| Phase | waning gibbous, waning |
| Illumination | 99% of the disc lit |
| Moon age | 16.4 days since the new moon |
| Distance | 376,500 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.

No hour on Sunday, September 27, 2026 is inside 9 to 5 in all 5 places, so nothing is highlighted as a shared working hour. Los Angeles and Delhi are 12 hours 30 minutes apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 9:00 am in Bobo-Dioulasso it is working hours in Bobo-Dioulasso, London and Delhi, but outside them in Los Angeles and New York. A meeting across this set has to be early or late for somebody.
Prayer times in Bobo-Dioulasso
Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso at 11.18 degrees north, 4.29 degrees west, on the clock of Africa/Ouagadougou. 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 Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, 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 Bobo-Dioulasso
From Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso the qibla is 70.6 degrees on a true compass, which is east-northeast, or 19.4 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 4,827 km away, 3,000 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso 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 Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso 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 Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Africa/Ouagadougou from the time zone database, so it stays right when Bobo-Dioulasso changes its clocks, and it shows GMT 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.
