Praying in Jackson
A Jackson fast of 15h 38m on 17 June becomes 11h 15m on 15 December, a difference of more than four hours. For a city this far south that is a modest range, and the shortest fast arrives six days before the winter solstice, not on it.
Summer evenings are the part to plan around. Isha does not begin until 9:33 PM at its latest, on 22 June, the day after the solstice, and Fajr is as early as 4:32 AM on 10 June, so the hours between the two prayers are fewest in the weeks around midsummer.

Frequently asked questions
How long will Ramadan fasts be in Jackson in 2027?
Ramadan is expected to run from around 8 February to 8 March, with fasts from 12h 00m to 12h 51m. That sits much nearer the winter low of 11h 15m than the summer peak of 15h 38m.
When do the clocks change in Jackson in 2027?
They go forward on 14 March and back on 7 November. Ramadan is expected to end around 8 March, so the whole month falls on standard time. The page already shows local clock time for every date, so nothing needs adjusting.
Which direction do I face for Qibla in Jackson?
The bearing is 49 degrees clockwise from true north, just east of north-east. The shortest route to Makkah from Mississippi curves up over the North Atlantic, which is why it is not the south-east a flat map suggests.
When does Isha start earliest in Jackson?
At 6:07 PM on 27 November, about three and a half weeks before the winter solstice on 21 December. The evening prayer reaches its earliest point well before midwinter, then slowly moves later.
