Praying in Shreveport
Shreveport's longest and shortest fasts land on the solstices themselves: 15h 40m on 21 June and 11h 13m on 21 December. The difference is more than four hours, and each extreme is easy to remember because it sits on a solstice date.
Isha is latest on 21 June too, at 9:48 PM, but Fajr reaches its earliest point, 4:45 AM, nine days sooner, on 12 June. At 32.5 degrees north that makes the morning prayer the one that arrives early before the solstice, while the evening prayer waits for the solstice itself. From mid-June Fajr then drifts later through summer and autumn.

Frequently asked questions
How do Ramadan fasts in Shreveport compare with the rest of the year?
Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 8 February. The first fast, 11h 59m, sits close to the winter low of 11h 13m, and the last, 12h 51m, is nearly three hours shorter than the summer high of 15h 40m.
Which way is the Qibla from Shreveport?
Face 46 degrees clockwise from true north, a little east of north-east. The shortest route to Makkah from northwest Louisiana curves out over the North Atlantic, which is why the bearing leans north of east.
Why is Fajr latest on 6 November in Shreveport?
At 6:27 AM it is the last Fajr before the clocks go back on 7 November. Sunrise keeps drifting later through autumn, and daylight saving time holds the clock an hour ahead until that date, so the Fajr time peaks just before the change.
When does Isha start earliest in Shreveport?
At 6:21 PM on 27 November, about three and a half weeks before the winter solstice on 21 December. After that Isha edges later again even though the days are still getting shorter.
