Gao keeps a single time zone (Africa/Bamako, UTC+0) all year with no daylight saving, so prayer times move only with the seasons rather than with a clock change. At about 16°N, fairly close to the tropics, the difference between summer and winter daylight is modest: summer days run a little longer, pushing Isha later, while winter days are somewhat shorter, bringing Maghrib earlier in the afternoon.
