What time is it in Manzini right now?

The time in Manzini, Eswatini is 9:20 am, 09:20 on a 24 hour clock, on Monday September 28, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Africa/Mbabane rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.

Manzini sits at 26.50 degrees south and 31.38 degrees east, just outside the tropics and 2,947 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 30.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 1.4 degrees east of that line. Those 1.4 degrees are worth 5 minutes 31 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 11:45 am rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Best time to call Manzini

Treating a working day as 9am to 6pm on both sides, this is the window the two cities genuinely share. Some of these pairs have no shared working hour at all, which is worth knowing before a meeting is proposed.

Other cities in Eswatini

Manzini is the only city we cover in Eswatini, so there is no second clock in the country to compare it against here. The full city index has its neighbours across the border.

Cities on Africa/Mbabane time

Manzini is the only city in our catalogue on Africa/Mbabane. Other cities may share its UTC+2 offset today without sharing its rules, which is the distinction that matters the moment a clock change comes round.

Moon phase over Manzini tonight

The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 17.2 days into its cycle and about 94% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 6:11 am Mbabane time, and the next new moon on October 10, 2026 at 5:49 pm. Both are the same instant everywhere on Earth, printed here on the Manzini clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.

When the clocks change in Manzini

There is no clock change scheduled in Africa/Mbabane within the next 400 days, so Manzini stays at UTC+2 for the whole of that stretch.

That makes Manzini 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.

How far Manzini is from other cities

Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Manzini is Mbombela, South Africa at 121 km, and the furthest is Hilo, Hawaii at 19,013 km, which is 95% of the way to being exactly opposite.

The antipode of Manzini

Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Manzini, Eswatini and you come out at 26.50 degrees north, 148.62 degrees west. That point is in the North Pacific Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Hilo, Hawaii, 1,002 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 9:20 pm on Sunday.

The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 26.50 degrees south becomes 26.50 degrees north, and 31.38 degrees east becomes 148.62 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Manzini is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-10, roughly twelve hours from Manzini, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.

Sunrise and sunset in Manzini

Today the sun rises in Manzini at 5:38 am and sets at 5:53 pm, giving 12 hours 16 minutes of daylight.

Manzini, Eswatini · 26.50 degrees south, 31.38 degrees east · Africa/Mbabane

The sun is up in Manzini for 12 hours 16 minutes today, from 5:38 am to 5:53 pm. The moon sets in Manzini at 6:22 am and comes up again at 7:51 pm. The next phase is the last quarter on October 3, 2026. It is 96% lit at the moment, a waning gibbous, thinning by about 4.0 percentage points a day.

Civil dusk6:16 pm

Astronomical dusk7:11 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.

Evening golden hour5:23 pm to 6:07 pm0h 45m
Evening blue hour6:07 pm to 6:16 pm0h 09m

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.

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.

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 10:00 am in Manzini it is working hours in Manzini, 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 Manzini

Seven days from September 28, 2026, computed for Manzini, Eswatini at 26.50 degrees south, 31.38 degrees east, on the clock of Africa/Mbabane. 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 Manzini, Eswatini, 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 Manzini

From Manzini, Eswatini the qibla is 10.5 degrees on a true compass, which is north, or 10.5 degrees east of due north. The Kaaba is 5,406 km away, 3,359 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.

That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Manzini, Eswatini 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 Manzini, Eswatini 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.

Put a Manzini clock on your site

A live clock showing the current time in Manzini, Eswatini, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Africa/Mbabane from the time zone database, so it stays right when Manzini changes its clocks, and it shows UTC+2 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.
