Current time in Port-Gentil, Gabon right now
It is 4:16 am in Port-Gentil, Gabon 🇬🇦 right now, on Sunday, September 27, 2026. The city keeps Africa/Libreville, which is UTC+1 at UTC+1, so Port-Gentil is 1 hour ahead of UTC, where it is 3:16 am. The sun rose in Port-Gentil at 6:13 am and sets at 6:19 pm, which is 12 hours 7 minutes of daylight.
What time is it in Port-Gentil right now?
The time in Port-Gentil, Gabon is 4:16 am, 04:16 on a 24 hour clock, on Sunday September 27, 2026. The reading above ticks from your own device against the Africa/Libreville rules, so it stays right through a clock change rather than drifting an hour out twice a year.
Port-Gentil sits at 0.72 degrees south and 8.78 degrees east, within eight degrees of the equator and 80 km from the equator. Its clock is set to a zone whose nominal meridian is 15.0 degrees east, and the city itself is 6.2 degrees west of that line. Those 6.2 degrees are worth 24 minutes 52 seconds of sun time, which is most of why solar noon here lands at 12:16 pm rather than on the stroke of twelve.
Port-Gentil time zone and UTC offset
The IANA zone for Port-Gentil, Gabon is Africa/Libreville. Right now it is running at UTC+1 and the abbreviation in force is UTC+1. Port-Gentil does not change its clocks at any point in the year. The offset stays at UTC+1 in January and in July alike, so no conversion involving Port-Gentil ever needs a seasonal footnote.

Moon phase over Port-Gentil tonight
The moon is a waning gibbous tonight, 16.0 days into its cycle and about 98% lit. The next full moon falls on October 26, 2026 at 5:11 am Libreville 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 Port-Gentil clock, which is why the calendar date can differ from the one a reader further east or west sees.
When the clocks change in Port-Gentil
There is no clock change scheduled in Africa/Libreville within the next 400 days, so Port-Gentil stays at UTC+1 for the whole of that stretch.
That makes Port-Gentil 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 Port-Gentil
Dig straight through the centre of the Earth from Port-Gentil, Gabon and you come out at 0.72 degrees north, 171.22 degrees west. That point is in the North Pacific Ocean. The nearest city in our catalogue to it is Suva, Fiji, 2,381 km away from the antipode itself, where the clock currently reads 3:16 pm on Sunday.
The antipode is worked out by flipping the latitude across the equator and swinging the longitude a half turn: 0.72 degrees south becomes 0.72 degrees north, and 8.78 degrees east becomes 171.22 degrees west. Two thirds of the planet is ocean and the land is unevenly spread, so most antipodes are open water: Port-Gentil is no exception. The local time at the antipode runs close to UTC-11, roughly twelve hours from Port-Gentil, because a half turn of longitude is a half turn of the day.
Sunrise and sunset in Port-Gentil
Today the sun rises in Port-Gentil at 6:13 am and sets at 6:19 pm, giving 12 hours 7 minutes of daylight.

Sun and moon in Port-Gentil today
The sun is up in Port-Gentil for 12 hours 7 minutes today, from 6:13 am to 6:19 pm. The moon sets in Port-Gentil at 6:34 am and comes up again at 7:00 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 Port-Gentil |
|---|---|
| Astronomical dawn | 5:04 am |
| Nautical dawn | 5:28 am |
| Civil dawn | 5:52 am |
| Sunrise | 6:13 am |
| Solar noon | 12:16 pm |
| Sunset | 6:19 pm |
| Civil dusk | 6:40 pm |
| Nautical dusk | 7:04 pm |
| Astronomical dusk | 7:28 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 Port-Gentil | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Morning blue hour | 5:52 am to 6:00 am | 0h 08m |
| Morning golden hour | 6:00 am to 6:40 am | 0h 40m |
| Evening golden hour | 5:52 pm to 6:32 pm | 0h 40m |
| Evening blue hour | 6:32 pm to 6:40 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 Port-Gentil |
|---|---|
| Moonrise | 7:00 pm |
| Moonset | 6:34 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.

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 Singapore are 15 hours apart, which is more than the eight hour working day leaves room for. The closest is 3 of 5: from 9:00 am in Port-Gentil it is working hours in Port-Gentil, Delhi and Singapore, 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 Port-Gentil
Seven days from September 27, 2026, computed for Port-Gentil, Gabon at 0.72 degrees south, 8.78 degrees east, on the clock of Africa/Libreville. 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.
| Date | Fajr | Sunrise | Dhuhr | Asr | Maghrib | Isha |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sunday September 27 | 5:04 am | 6:13 am | 12:16 pm | 3:18 pm | 6:19 pm | 7:24 pm |

Dhuhr is solar noon at Port-Gentil, Gabon, 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 Port-Gentil
From Port-Gentil, Gabon the qibla is 52.0 degrees on a true compass, which is northeast, or 38.0 degrees north of due east. The Kaaba is 4,174 km away, 2,594 miles, measured over the surface of the Earth.
That figure is the initial bearing of the great circle from Port-Gentil, Gabon 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 Port-Gentil, Gabon 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 Port-Gentil clock on your site
A live clock showing the current time in Port-Gentil, Gabon, ready to paste into any page that accepts HTML. It reads Africa/Libreville from the time zone database, so it stays right when Port-Gentil 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.
