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.
Dundee is above 55° north, so Fajr and Isha follow the one-seventh-of-the-night rule recommended by the Moonsighting Committee.
Frequently asked questions
Which Asr time does Dundee highlight?
The Hanafi time, which starts later than the Standard time, is highlighted. Both appear in the timetable, and a switch above it changes the highlight. If you follow a particular school, choose the time that matches it.
What is the Qibla direction in Dundee?
120 degrees clockwise from true north, about a third of the way from due east towards due south. That is between east-south-east and south-east. Use a true-north compass setting if your app offers one.
Is the one-seventh rule used all year in Dundee?
Yes. At 56.5 degrees north it applies throughout the year, so Fajr and Isha are set as a fraction of the night, from sunset to sunrise, instead of by sun angles. It is a convention, and your local mosque's timetable may use another.
How early does Isha start in Dundee in winter?
The earliest Isha is 5:12 PM on 10 December, twelve days before the winter solstice on 22 December. Fajr is latest at 7:03 AM on 1 January. In June, by contrast, Isha does not begin until 11:00 PM, a swing of almost six hours.
