Frequently asked questions
When do the clocks change in St. John's in 2027?
They go forward on 14 March and back on 7 November. Fajr is at its latest the day before the clocks go back, 6:25 AM on 6 November, and the timetable shows times in local time throughout.
How do Ramadan fasts in St. John's compare with the longest fast of the year?
Ramadan is expected from around 8 February to 8 March. Fasts run from 11h 22m to 12h 52m, more than five hours shorter than the longest, 17h 59m, and under three hours longer than the shortest, 10h 00m.
Why does the Qibla in St. John's point nearly east?
The bearing is 73 degrees clockwise from true north, a little north of due east. Makkah lies far across the Atlantic, and the shortest route from Newfoundland heads out over the ocean toward the north-east.
Is Isha earliest on the shortest day in St. John's?
No. Isha is earliest, 5:43 PM, on 4 December. The shortest fast is on 20 December, sixteen days later, so the earliest sunset-based time comes well before the shortest day.
