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 Asr time does Croydon highlight?
The Hanafi time, the later of the two Asr options, is highlighted on UK pages. The Standard time sits beside it in the timetable, and a toggle changes the highlight. Follow your own mosque's timetable for congregation.
How many mosques are near Croydon?
OpenStreetMap lists 54 mosques within 15 km of the city centre. Since volunteers maintain the map, small prayer rooms may be missing. Congregation times are set by each mosque and can differ from calculated start times.
How much longer is the longest fast than the shortest in Croydon?
By just over nine hours: 18h 40m on 20 June against 9h 35m on 20 December. Both are measured from the start of Fajr to Maghrib.
What time of year is Fajr latest in Croydon?
On 1 January, at 6:25 AM, which is later than on the winter solstice. That is more than three and a half hours after the earliest Fajr of the year, 2:44 AM on 19 June.
