Praying in Basingstoke
Basingstoke's Isha moves across more than five hours of the clock in a year, from 5:32 PM on 7 December to 10:45 PM on 22 June. The winter minimum arrives about two weeks before the solstice on 22 December, and the summer maximum falls the day after the 21 June solstice.
Ramadan 2027 is expected around 8 February to 8 March, so the fasts are short for the year: about 11h 16m at the start and about 13h 00m at the end. June's longest fast, 18h 38m, is more than seven hours longer than the first one.

How these times are calculated
- Method
- Moonsighting Committee Worldwide
- Fajr
- 18° with seasonal adjustment
- Isha
- seasonal twilight (shafaq)
- Highlighted Asr
- Hanafi (shadow twice the length)
UK times use the Moonsighting Committee Worldwide method. In summer, cities above 55 degrees north, including Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen, follow the one-seventh-of-the-night rule for Fajr and Isha because true twilight never ends there. Dhuhr is shown 5 minutes after solar noon and Maghrib 3 minutes after sunset, following the method's guidance.

Frequently asked questions
Why does the fast get longer through Ramadan in Basingstoke?
The expected dates, around 8 February to 8 March, sit in late winter, when daylight is growing quickly. The first fast is about 11h 16m and the last about 13h 00m, a gain of roughly an hour and three-quarters. Confirm the actual start with the local announcement.
Is the shortest fast on the shortest day in Basingstoke?
Nearly. The winter solstice is on 22 December, and the shortest Fajr-to-Maghrib stretch, 9h 36m, is on 23 December. A fast is bounded by two different events, dawn and sunset, and they do not turn around at the same moment, so the minimum can sit a day away from the solstice.
Does Basingstoke use a high-latitude rule for Fajr and Isha?
No separate fallback rule applies here. Basingstoke is at 51.3 degrees north, and the Moonsighting Committee Worldwide convention used for UK pages already varies Fajr and Isha with the season. The one-seventh-of-the-night rule appears only for cities much further north.
How far apart are the earliest and latest Fajr in Basingstoke?
Fajr begins at 2:49 AM on 18 June, three days before the summer solstice, and is latest at 6:28 AM on 1 January. That is a spread of more than three and a half hours, which is why a Fajr alarm set in June is far too early by winter.
