Praying in Riverside
Riverside's longest fast, 15h 50m on 19 June, runs more than four and a half hours past its shortest, 11h 07m on 21 December. The long day arrives two days before the summer solstice on 21 June, while the short one lands exactly on the winter solstice, so the fasting calendar and the astronomical one nearly coincide.
At 34 degrees north, the early starts of summer stay moderate. Fajr is never earlier than 4:14 AM, reached on 9 June, and Isha is latest at 9:29 PM on 23 June, two days after the solstice.

Frequently asked questions
Are Ramadan fasts in Riverside closer to winter or summer length?
They are closer to winter length, going by the expected dates of around 8 February to 8 March. The first fast is 11h 56m, less than an hour above the year's shortest of 11h 07m. By the last, 12h 51m, it is still nearly three hours under the longest, 15h 50m.
Will Riverside prayer times shift when the clocks change in 2027?
The times shown already follow local time, so there is nothing to adjust. The clocks go forward on 14 March and back on 7 November, which is why Fajr reaches its latest, 6:03 AM, on 6 November and sits roughly an hour earlier on the clock the next morning.
Which way is the Qibla in Riverside?
Face 25 degrees clockwise from true north, a little past north-north-east. Makkah lies on the far side of the globe, and the shortest path from Riverside climbs toward the Arctic before coming back down, so the heading is much closer to north than to east.
Is Fajr earliest on the longest day in Riverside?
No. Fajr is earliest at 4:14 AM on 9 June, twelve days before the summer solstice on 21 June. The latest Isha, 9:29 PM, comes after the solstice, on 23 June, so the earliest dawn and the latest night prayer sit on opposite sides of it.
