On 21 June, the June solstice, Watford has both the earliest Fajr of the year, 2:43 AM, and the latest Isha, 10:44 PM. The stretch from one to the other that day is just over twenty hours.
The night between Isha and the next Fajr is at its shortest around then. The shortest fast, 9h 33m, is on 18 December, four days before the winter solstice, and Fajr then keeps getting later until 1 January.

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 Watford?
Yes. They go forward on 28 March and back on 31 October. Calculated prayer times follow the sun, so only the number on the clock moves by an hour, and any alarm you set by hand needs adjusting.
Which direction is the Qibla from Watford?
119 degrees clockwise from north, which is east-south-east, slightly closer to south-east than to east. The bearing is the shortest route over the Earth's curved surface to the Kaaba.
Is Watford's longest fast on the same day as its earliest Fajr?
No. The earliest Fajr, 2:43 AM, is on 21 June, but the longest fast, 18h 44m, falls on 22 June. Maghrib keeps getting later for a few days after the solstice, which carries the peak a day on.
When is the shortest fast in Watford?
On 18 December, at 9h 33m, four days before the winter solstice on 22 December. After that date the Fajr-to-Maghrib stretch starts to lengthen again.
What is the latest Fajr start in Watford?
6:27 AM, reached on 1 January. Set against 2:43 AM on 21 June, that means the dawn prayer shifts by more than three and a half hours across the year.
