Praying in Staten Island
Staten Island's Isha spans more than four hours across the year, from 5:51 PM on 29 November to 10:11 PM on 24 June. The low arrives twenty-two days before the winter solstice on 21 December and the high three days after the summer solstice on 21 June, so neither sits on a solstice.
At 40.6 degrees north, the fast changes by just over six hours, from 10h 38m on 18 December to 16h 45m on 20 June. Fajr is as early as 3:46 AM on 13 June.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Qibla bearing on Staten Island?
It is 58 degrees clockwise from true north, nearer north-east than due east. A flat map suggests south-east, but the great-circle route to Makkah crosses the North Atlantic, which is why the bearing points north of east.
Why does Fajr stop getting earlier before the June solstice on Staten Island?
Sunrise is earliest around a week before the solstice, and Fajr follows it: 3:46 AM on 13 June, eight days before 21 June. After that the dawn prayer creeps later even though the days are still lengthening.
How long is the longest fast on Staten Island?
16h 45m on 20 June, one day before the solstice. Against the shortest, 10h 38m on 18 December, that is just over six hours more. The shortest fast also lands ahead of its solstice, three days before 21 December.
Does Fajr move as much as Isha through the year on Staten Island?
Less. Fajr runs from 3:46 AM on 13 June to 6:15 AM on 6 November, nearly two and a half hours, against more than four hours for Isha. The late-autumn peak is partly because the clocks are still set forward.
