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
Which Asr time does Bedford highlight, and can I change it?
Bedford highlights the Hanafi Asr, which starts later than the Standard time. Both are listed in the timetable, and a switch above it changes which one is highlighted. If your family or mosque follows one school, use the time that matches it.
Why is Isha earliest in early December in Bedford, not at the solstice?
The earliest Isha, 5:26 PM, is on 5 December, more than two weeks before the solstice on 22 December. The earliest sunsets of the year come before the solstice and the latest sunrises after it, because solar noon drifts against the clock through December.
Is the longest fast in Bedford on the longest day?
Almost. The June solstice is 21 June, and the longest Fajr-to-Maghrib fast, 18h 50m, is on 22 June. Fajr and Maghrib are set by dawn and sunset, which peak at slightly different moments, so the longest fast can fall a day off the solstice.
How late is Fajr in Bedford in winter?
Fajr is latest at 6:30 AM on 1 January. The earliest is 2:40 AM on 22 June, so across the year the dawn prayer moves by nearly four hours on the clock.
