Praying in Rustenburg
Rustenburg's Fajr is earliest on 1 December at 3:43 AM, just before the Fajr-to-Maghrib day peaks at 15h 15m on 16 December. That is six days ahead of the solstice on 22 December: the longest fast comes before the longest day by the calendar.
In midwinter, the shortest day is 11h 54m on 17 June, and Fajr is latest at 5:36 AM on 26 June, so dark mornings stretch well past the solstice on 21 June. Isha ranges from 6:44 PM on 3 June to 8:30 PM on 1 January, a later and later evening prayer as summer approaches.
