How these times are calculated
- Method
- Moonsighting Committee Worldwide
- Fajr
- 18° with seasonal adjustment
- Isha
- seasonal twilight (shafaq)
- Highlighted Asr
- Hanafi (shadow twice the length)
UK times use the Moonsighting Committee Worldwide method. In summer, cities above 55 degrees north, including Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, follow the one-seventh-of-the-night rule for Fajr and Isha because true twilight never ends there. Dhuhr is shown 5 minutes after solar noon and Maghrib 3 minutes after sunset, following the method's guidance.

Frequently asked questions
What happens to Basildon Salah times when the clocks go forward on 28 March?
Every prayer lands an hour later on the clock overnight, though the sun's timing has not changed. Fajr is the one people notice, since it jumps in the morning. On 31 October the shift runs the other way.
How early does Fajr get in Basildon in summer?
The earliest is 2:40 AM on 22 June. That is also the date of the longest fast of the year, so the longest day for fasting and the earliest dawn prayer coincide.
When is Isha earliest in Basildon?
At 5:25 PM on 4 December, eighteen days before the winter solstice on 22 December. After that date Isha begins a little later each evening, even though the days are still getting shorter.
How much longer is the longest fast than the shortest in Basildon?
The longest, 18h 43m, is just over nine hours more than the shortest, 9h 34m. The two fall on 22 June and 17 December, so the fast roughly halves between midsummer and midwinter.
