Praying in Preston
Preston's latest Isha, 11:07 PM, is on 22 June, one day after the solstice, and the longest fast, 19h 11m, lands on the same day. Fajr is earliest a few days before, at 2:38 AM on 19 June.
At the end of the year the latest Fajr falls on 31 December, at 6:47 AM, a day ahead of the new year rather than on it. Isha is earliest at 5:27 PM on 6 December, and the shortest fast, 9h 11m, comes on 18 December, so the gap between the longest and shortest fasts is exactly ten hours.

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
When do the clocks change in Preston?
Clocks go forward on 28 March and back on 31 October. Because the timetable uses local time, prayer times jump by about an hour on those days, although the sun itself moves only a few minutes from one day to the next.
Why is Isha latest in Preston on 22 June and not on the solstice?
Isha depends on when twilight ends, not only on sunset, and the two peaks do not have to coincide. At 53.8 degrees north the latest Isha, 11:07 PM, falls on 22 June.
What is the shortest fast in Preston?
9h 11m, on 18 December. The longest, 19h 11m on 22 June, is exactly ten hours more, so a summer fast is about twice as long as a winter one.
When is Fajr latest in Preston?
At 6:47 AM on 31 December. That is just over four hours later than the earliest Fajr of the year, 2:38 AM on 19 June.
