Frequently asked questions
Which Asr time does Tauranga highlight, and can I change it?
Tauranga highlights the Standard Asr, which begins earlier than the Hanafi time. Both appear in the timetable, and a switch above it changes which is highlighted. The choice is a matter of which school you follow.
Why are Tauranga's longest days in December?
Tauranga is in the southern hemisphere, where the December solstice is midsummer. The sun is high and the days are long then, and the June solstice brings the short days. The fast runs from 11h 07m in June to 16h 42m in December.
How much does Fajr change through the year in Tauranga?
Fajr is earliest at 3:53 AM on 11 December and latest at 6:03 AM on 3 April, a difference of just over two hours. Isha moves further, from 6:32 PM on 3 June to 10:26 PM on 1 January.
How much longer is the longest fast than the shortest in Tauranga?
The longest fast, 16h 42m on 20 December, is more than five and a half hours longer than the shortest, 11h 07m on 19 June. Both fall within a few days of their solstices, 22 December and 22 June.
