Frequently asked questions
Do the clocks change in Newcastle?
No. Newcastle in KwaZulu-Natal stays on South African Standard Time all year, so Salah times never move by an hour. Differences in the timetable come only from the sun's seasonal path.
How long are the Ramadan 2027 fasts in Newcastle?
With Ramadan expected around 8 February to 8 March, the fast starts at 14h 38m and ends at 13h 47m. Both sit between the year's shortest, 11h 46m on 20 June, and its longest, 15h 28m on 22 December.
Why is Isha earliest at the end of May in Newcastle?
Isha begins at 6:31 PM on 29 May because sunsets bottom out weeks before the winter solstice on 21 June. The evening prayer turns later while the days are still getting shorter.
Is the longest day in Newcastle on the solstice?
Yes, the Fajr-to-Maghrib day is longest, at 15h 28m, on 22 December, the solstice itself. Fajr has already passed its earliest time of 3:25 AM on 2 December, while Isha keeps getting later until 4 January.
