Praying in Doncaster
Doncaster's Isha shifts by more than five and a half hours over the year, from 5:22 PM on 5 December to 10:59 PM on 22 June. The same year-long swing takes Fajr from 2:33 AM to 6:39 AM.
Midsummer also brings the earliest Fajr, 2:33 AM, and the longest fast, 19h 08m, both on 22 June, the day after the June solstice. The shortest fast, 9h 13m, is on 21 December, one day before the winter solstice, so the evening and the fast reach their winter minimums more than two weeks apart.

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
Does Ramadan bring Doncaster's longest fasts?
No. Ramadan 2027 is expected from around 8 February to 8 March, with fasts running from 11h 03m up to 12h 57m. Those sit well inside the year's range, 9h 13m to 19h 08m, and stay far below the summer maximum. Dates follow the local moon announcement.
Is Doncaster's longest fast on the longest day?
Nearly. The June solstice is 21 June, and the longest fast, 19h 08m, falls a day later, on 22 June, because Maghrib keeps getting later for a few days after the solstice while Fajr has already turned back.
What time does Fajr start in midwinter in Doncaster?
At its latest, 6:39 AM on 1 January, more than four hours later than the earliest Fajr of the year, 2:33 AM on 22 June.
When is the shortest fast in Doncaster?
On 21 December, at 9h 13m, one day before the winter solstice. From then the Fajr-to-Maghrib stretch begins to lengthen, though only by a minute or so a day at first.
