Praying in Columbia
Fajr in Columbia is at its earliest, 4:48 AM, on 12 June, nine days before the solstice. After that the dawn prayer drifts later while the evening keeps going the other way for several more days, so the short nights of summer gather around late June instead of landing on one date.
At 34 degrees north the year's swing is modest. The fast runs from 11h 07m on 20 December to 15h 50m on 17 June, less than five hours apart. Isha does most of the moving, about three and a half hours across the year against less than two for Fajr.

Frequently asked questions
Does Columbia highlight standard or Hanafi Asr?
Standard, which is the earlier of the two afternoon times. Hanafi Asr comes later. The switch on the page changes which one is highlighted, and the choice carries over to other cities. Your local masjid will say which time it uses.
Why is Isha latest on 25 June in Columbia instead of on the solstice?
The latest sunsets of the year come a few days after the summer solstice, and Isha follows. In Columbia it reaches 10:04 PM on 25 June, four days after the solstice on 21 June.
How early does Isha start in late autumn in Columbia?
As early as 6:28 PM on 28 November, twenty-three days before the winter solstice. The shortest fast, 11h 07m, is not until 20 December, because Fajr keeps getting later after the earliest sunsets have passed.
When is Fajr latest in Columbia?
At 6:38 AM on 6 November, the last morning before the clocks go back on 7 November. After the change Fajr reads an hour earlier on the clock, even though the sun is still rising later each day.
