Frequently asked questions
Why are Ramadan fasts so long in Dunedin in 2027?
Because Ramadan falls in February and March, the late southern summer. The first fast, about 16h 21m, is not far from the longest day of the year, 18h 13m, and the month shortens to about 14h 36m by the last day. The dates are expected, not final.
Why is Isha so late in Dunedin in January?
The evening sky holds some light long after sunset in midsummer at this latitude, and the clocks are an hour ahead. Together these push Isha to 11:53 PM on 1 January. The earliest Isha, in winter, is 6:41 PM on 12 June.
How short is the winter fast in Dunedin?
The shortest Fajr-to-Maghrib day is 10h 28m on 19 June, nearly eight hours less than the 18h 13m of 20 December. Fajr is latest on 23 June, at 6:32 AM, so winter days are dark early and late.
When is Fajr earliest in Dunedin?
At 3:10 AM on 6 December, two weeks before the longest fast on 20 December. By June the dawn prayer has moved more than three hours later, to 6:32 AM on 23 June.
