Praying in Rochdale
Less than an hour before midnight, at 11:03 PM on 21 June, Isha begins in Rochdale. That is the solstice itself, and the earliest Fajr, 2:37 AM, comes two days before it. Rochdale is at 53.6 degrees north, and the sky stays pale through most of a June night.
In December Isha is earliest at 5:26 PM on 4 December and Fajr latest at 6:44 AM on 1 January. The shortest fast, 9h 12m, is on 22 December, the day of the solstice, and the longest, 19h 09m, on 23 June. Ramadan 2027, expected around 8 February to 8 March, falls well away from both extremes.

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
How do Ramadan fasts in Rochdale in 2027 compare with the rest of the year?
Ramadan is expected around 8 February to 8 March, so the fasts sit near the short end: about 11h 03m on the first day and 12h 56m on the last. The last is still more than three and a half hours longer than the winter minimum and more than six hours shorter than the summer maximum.
Which way is the Qibla in Rochdale?
The bearing is 119 degrees from true north, measured clockwise. That is south of east, between east and south-east, and nearer east-south-east. Face that bearing, and use the true-north setting on a compass app if it has one.
How many mosques are there near Rochdale?
OpenStreetMap lists 51 mosques within 15 km of the city centre. The map is kept up to date by volunteers, so some places may be missing. Each mosque sets its own congregation times, which can differ from the calculated start times in the timetable.
How long is the night between Isha and Fajr in Rochdale in June?
Isha at 11:03 PM on 21 June and Fajr as early as 2:37 AM leave only about three and a half hours between them. At 53.6 degrees north the sky stays lit long into a June night.
