Frequently asked questions
When do the clocks change in Hamilton?
They go forward on 26 September and back on 4 April. The timetable is in local time, so prayers appear an hour later during daylight saving. Fajr is latest on 3 April, the last full day on summer time.
Why is the shortest fast in Hamilton on 17 June, not the solstice?
The solstice is 22 June, but the fast runs from Fajr to Maghrib, and dawn and sunset do not turn around on the same day. The shortest fast, 11h 07m, comes five days earlier.
How late is Isha in Hamilton in summer?
Isha reaches 10:30 PM on 1 January, ten days after the December solstice. In winter it is as early as 6:35 PM on 5 June, so it moves by nearly four hours across the year.
Why are Hamilton's longest fasts in December?
Hamilton is in the southern hemisphere, where December is midsummer. The sun is high then and daylight is long, so the Fajr-to-Maghrib stretch reaches 16h 43m on 20 December, against 11h 07m in June.
