Praying in Halifax
Isha in Halifax is earliest on 1 December, at 6:02 PM, more than two weeks before the shortest fast of the year on 18 December. Evenings start lengthening again in early December while mornings are still getting darker, so the year's shortest fast comes later.
Summer moves the night prayer a long way: Isha is as late as 10:59 PM on 22 June, nearly five hours after its winter low. On the morning side, Fajr is latest on 6 November, at 6:36 AM, the last day before Nova Scotia's clocks go back on 7 November.

Frequently asked questions
How do Standard and Hanafi Asr compare in Halifax?
Halifax shows both. Standard Asr, highlighted by default on Canadian pages, begins when a shadow equals an object's length, and Hanafi Asr begins later, when it is twice as long. The switch on the page changes the highlight, and your mosque's timetable governs congregation.
Why is Fajr latest in November in Halifax?
Sunrise is getting later throughout autumn, and daylight saving time keeps every prayer an hour ahead until 7 November. So Fajr peaks at 6:36 AM on 6 November, then drops an hour on 7 November. In midwinter it is earlier than that peak.
How long is the longest fast in Halifax?
It reaches 17h 30m on 23 June, compared with 10h 17m on 18 December. That is a difference of more than seven hours between a summer and a winter fast in Nova Scotia.
When is Fajr earliest in Halifax?
At 3:34 AM on 13 June, about ten days before the longest fast. After mid-June the dawn prayer moves later every day, even though the days are still close to their longest.
