Praying in Canberra
Ramadan in Canberra is expected to start around 8 February, still in summer, so the first fast is 15h 12m and the last is 14h 03m, a little over an hour shorter. The month sits in the long-day half of the year, and evenings stay light late.
Isha ranges from 6:23 PM on 6 June to 10:01 PM on 1 January, a spread of more than three and a half hours. Part of that comes from daylight saving, which is in force on 1 January, and part from Canberra's latitude of 35.3 degrees south.

Frequently asked questions
When do the clocks change in Canberra?
Clocks go forward on 3 October and back on 4 April, and the prayer times here follow local clock time. The latest Fajr of the year, 5:53 AM on 3 April, is the last morning before the clocks go back, so the next day it reads about an hour earlier.
How much longer is a December fast than a June fast in Canberra?
The longest day from Fajr to Maghrib is 16h 21m on 21 December and the shortest is 11h 17m on 20 June, a difference of just over five hours. The earliest Isha of the year, 6:23 PM, falls earlier in June, on 6 June.
Why is Fajr earliest on 9 December, not on the longest day?
Fajr reaches 3:55 AM on 9 December, twelve days before the longest fast on 21 December. The fast also depends on when Maghrib comes, so the earliest Fajr and the longest fast do not fall on the same date.
Why are Canberra's longest days in December?
Canberra is south of the equator, where the seasons are reversed. At 35.3 degrees south the days are longest around December and shortest around June, which is why Isha is at its latest on 1 January, at 10:01 PM.
