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
Which direction should I face to pray from Bournemouth?
Face 116 degrees, counted clockwise from true north. That is between east and south-east, nearer south-east. If a phone compass reads magnetic north by default, switch the setting before relying on the arrow.
When is the longest fast in Bournemouth?
On 20 June, at 18h 32m, which is the day before the solstice on 21 June. The shortest fast, 9h 42m, is on 18 December, so the two extremes differ by a little under nine hours.
How much does Fajr move across the year in Bournemouth?
From 2:55 AM on 20 June to 6:29 AM on 1 January, a shift of more than three and a half hours. The latest Fajr comes about ten days after the winter solstice on 22 December.
How short is the summer night in Bournemouth?
Around midsummer Isha is as late as 10:45 PM, on 21 June, and Fajr as early as 2:55 AM, on 20 June. That leaves only a few hours between the night prayer and the dawn prayer.
