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 the clocks change in Portsmouth?
Yes. In 2027 they go forward on 28 March and back on 31 October. The timetable is shown in local time, so the entries move by an hour at those dates even though the sun has not shifted.
Which direction is the Qibla from Portsmouth?
The Qibla is 117 degrees clockwise from true north, between east and south-east and a little closer to south-east. Compass apps normally start from magnetic north, so switch to true north for an accurate reading.
How short is the night in Portsmouth in June?
Fajr is earliest at 2:52 AM on 18 June and Isha is latest at 10:42 PM on 21 June, so around the solstice the two prayers sit only a few hours apart. The longest fast, 18h 33m, comes on 21 June too.
When is Fajr latest in Portsmouth?
On 1 January, at 6:26 AM, about ten days after the solstice on 22 December. The shortest fast of the year, 9h 41m, arrives on 19 December, ahead of the latest Fajr because it also depends on sunset.
