What time is it in Oued Zem right now?

The time in Oued Zem, Morocco is 3:27 pm, 15:27 on a 24 hour clock, on Sunday September 27, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Africa/Casablanca rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.

Oued Zem sits at 32.86 degrees north and 6.57 degrees west, in the subtropical belt and 3,654 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 15.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 21.6 degrees west of that line. Those 21.6 degrees are worth 86 minutes 18 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 1:17 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.

Oued Zem time zone and UTC offset

The IANA zone for Oued Zem, Morocco is Africa/Casablanca. Right now it is running at UTC+1 and the abbreviation in force is UTC+1. Oued Zem is on summer time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC+1 rather than the UTC+0 it keeps in winter.

Where Oued Zem is on the map

The marker sits at the coordinates this whole page is computed from, so the sun times, the distances and the solar noon above all belong to this exact point rather than to the wider metropolitan area.

Time difference between Oued Zem and major cities

Every row below is computed at this instant, so daylight saving on either side is already in it. A positive figure means that city's clock reads later than Oued Zem.

Best time to call Oued Zem

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.

Cities on Africa/Casablanca time

41 of our cities keep Africa/Casablanca, so every one of them reads 3:27 pm at this moment and changes its clocks on the same night as Oued Zem. Nearest first:

Moon phase over Oued Zem tonight

The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 16.5 days into its cycle and about 97% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 5:11 am Casablanca 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 Oued Zem clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.

When the clocks change in Oued Zem

The next change is on Sunday, February 7, 2027, 132 days from now, when the clocks in Oued Zem go back 1 hour at 2:59 am and the offset moves from UTC+1 to UTC+0.

Two things follow from that. Any standing call with Oued Zem shifts by an hour on that date unless the other side moves the same weekend, and every offset printed on this page is the offset for today rather than a fixed property of the city.

How far Oued Zem is from other cities

Great-circle distance, computed from the coordinates rather than road mileage. The nearest city we cover to Oued Zem is Khouribga, Morocco at 31 km, and the furthest is North Shore, New Zealand at 19,561 km, which is 98% of the way to being exactly opposite.

The antipode of Oued Zem

Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Oued Zem, Morocco and you come out at 32.86 degrees south, 173.43 degrees east. That point is near North Shore, New Zealand. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is North Shore, New Zealand, 454 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 3:27 am on Monday.

The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 32.86 degrees north becomes 32.86 degrees south, and 6.57 degrees west becomes 173.43 degrees east. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Oued Zem is one of the exceptions, with dry land on the far side. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-11, roughly twelve hours from Oued Zem, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.

Sunrise and sunset in Oued Zem

Today the sun rises in Oued Zem at 7:18 am and sets at 7:16 pm, giving 11 hours 59 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 Oued Zem.

Sun and moon in Oued Zem today

The sun is up in Oued Zem for 11 hours 59 minutes today, from 7:18 am to 7:16 pm. The moon sets in Oued Zem at 7:59 am and comes up again at 7:34 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.

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.

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.

Prayer times in Oued Zem

Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Oued Zem, Morocco at 32.86 degrees north, 6.57 degrees west, on the clock of Africa/Casablanca. 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 Oued Zem, Morocco, 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 Oued Zem

From Oued Zem, Morocco the qibla is 93.5 degrees on a true compass, which is east, or 3.5 degrees south of due east. The Kaaba is 4,724 km away, 2,936 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.

That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Oued Zem, Morocco 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 Oued Zem, Morocco 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.
