Praying in Gillingham
On 21 June, the summer solstice, Gillingham has three records on a single date: Fajr at its earliest, 2:41 AM, Isha at its latest, 10:39 PM, and the longest fast of the year, 18h 40m. Gillingham is at 51.4 degrees north, so midsummer twilight lingers late.
In winter the pattern is looser. The shortest fast, 9h 35m, is on 19 December, three days before the solstice, and Isha is earliest at 5:25 PM on 6 December. Fajr is latest at 6:22 AM on 1 January.

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 Gillingham highlight?
The Hanafi time, which begins later than the Standard time. Both are in the timetable, and a toggle above it lets you change the highlight. Which one is correct for you depends on the school you follow, so check with your mosque if you are unsure.
How much does the length of the fast change in Gillingham?
From 9h 35m on 19 December to 18h 40m on 21 June, a difference of about nine hours. In June it is close to double the winter fast.
Does Gillingham use a high-latitude rule?
No. At 51.4 degrees north Gillingham needs no fallback rule. UK pages follow the Moonsighting Committee Worldwide convention, which adjusts Fajr and Isha for the season.
How long is the night between Isha and Fajr in Gillingham at midsummer?
About four hours separate Isha at 10:39 PM on 21 June from a Fajr close to 2:41 AM the next morning. It is the shortest night of the year.
