Frequently asked questions
How does the Ramadan fast change across the month in Elizabeth?
It starts at 11h 40m around 8 February and ends at 12h 51m around 8 March, so it grows by more than an hour. Days lengthen quickly as winter turns to spring, which is why each fast is a little longer than the last.
When do the clocks change in Elizabeth in 2027?
Clocks go forward on 14 March and back on 7 November. The latest Fajr, 6:15 AM, falls on 6 November, the day before the change. The page already shows local time for each date, so there is nothing to adjust.
Which way do I face for prayer in Elizabeth?
Face 58 degrees clockwise from true north, between north-east and east. A phone compass set to true north gives the direct reading, while a magnetic compass reads several degrees off, so check which one yours is using.
When does Isha start earliest in Elizabeth?
At 5:51 PM on 30 November, exactly three weeks before the winter solstice on 21 December. By the shortest day it is already moving later.
