Praying in Cheltenham
Cheltenham's clocks go back on 31 October, but Fajr keeps arriving later for two more months, reaching its latest start, 6:35 AM, on 1 January. The latest dawn prayer thus comes long after the clock change and well after the shortest day.
The three summer extremes all share 22 June, the day after the June solstice: Fajr is earliest at 2:48 AM, Isha is latest at 10:53 PM and the fast is longest at 18h 47m. In winter the shortest fast, 9h 30m, falls on 23 December, again the day after the solstice.

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
Do Salah times shift by an hour in Cheltenham in March?
On the clock, yes. The clocks go forward on 28 March, so each prayer is listed an hour later from that day. They go back on 31 October, and each prayer moves an hour earlier. The sun itself has not shifted, only the number on the clock.
How wide is the range of Fajr start times in Cheltenham?
It starts as early as 2:48 AM on 22 June and as late as 6:35 AM on 1 January, a spread of nearly four hours, so the dawn prayer covers a wide stretch of the clock over the year.
When is Isha earliest in Cheltenham?
At 5:34 PM on 3 December, nineteen days before the winter solstice on 22 December. After that Isha starts later each evening, although the fast is still shortening for a further twenty days.
How much longer is the longest fast than the shortest in Cheltenham?
The longest, 18h 47m, is more than nine hours longer than the shortest, 9h 30m. Neither falls on a solstice: they come on 22 June and 23 December.
