Frequently asked questions
Why is Isha earliest in early June in Somerset West?
Isha begins at 7:06 PM on 5 June because sunset times fall to their lowest before the winter solstice. After that Isha creeps later even though 21 June, the shortest day, is still to come.
How long are Ramadan 2027 fasts in Somerset West compared with the longest day?
Expected around 8 February to 8 March, the fast begins at 15h 05m and ends at 14h 00m. The longest Fajr-to-Maghrib day of the year is 16h 11m on 19 December, so Ramadan opens with a fast about an hour shorter.
When is Fajr latest in Somerset West?
On 28 June at 6:22 AM, a week after the winter solstice. The earliest Fajr is on 5 December, at 3:43 AM, in the long days of summer.
Why does Isha peak on 1 January in Somerset West?
At 9:37 PM, Isha is latest ten days after the 22 December solstice. Sunset keeps getting later for a time after the longest day, so evenings stay light into the new year.
