Today's Subha Hora for Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa (Africa/Johannesburg) is based on sunrise at 06:39 and sunset at 17:48 local time. Each daylight hora spans one-twelfth of the interval between those two moments, and each night hora spans one-twelfth of the time from sunset until the next sunrise - so the table above reflects Johannesburg's actual sky, not a generic national schedule. At this latitude, summer days stretch noticeably longer than winter ones, so day hora in June can be much longer than night hora - and the reverse in December.
