Praying in Los Angeles
Los Angeles reaches its latest Fajr of the year, 6:06 AM, on 5 November, just before the clocks go back on 7 November. That date explains why the dawn prayer is latest in autumn and not at midwinter: daylight saving time is still holding every time an hour later until the change.
At 34.1 degrees north the seasons stretch the fast far less than they do in the north-east. It runs from 11h 07m on 20 December to 15h 50m on 17 June, a gap under five hours, and Isha is earliest, 5:57 PM, on 26 November, a good three weeks ahead of the shortest day.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to adjust Los Angeles prayer times in March and November?
No, the timetable already uses local clock time for each date. Daylight saving time starts on 14 March and ends on 7 November in 2027, so printed or saved times from the wrong half of the year are the only ones to watch out for.
Why does the Qibla from Los Angeles point north-north-east?
The Qibla here is 24 degrees clockwise from true north. The shortest route from California to Makkah runs over the Arctic region, so it bends well to the north. A flat map suggests south-east, which is not the true direction.
Why is Isha earliest in late November in Los Angeles?
Sunset is earliest before the winter solstice, so Isha reaches 5:57 PM on 26 November. Dawn keeps getting later until January, which is why the shortest fast, 11h 07m, does not come until 20 December.
How much do fasting days change through the year in Los Angeles?
Less than in northern cities. The longest Fajr-to-Maghrib stretch is 15h 50m on 17 June and the shortest is 11h 07m on 20 December. Fajr is as early as 4:17 AM on 9 June, so even summer mornings are not very early.
