Praying in Durham
Durham's Fajr reaches 4:30 AM on 15 June, and Isha does not come until 10:04 PM on 20 June. In the week around the solstice the dark hours between the two prayers are at their narrowest, which makes it the shortest stretch of night in the year.
The longest fast then falls on the solstice itself, 21 June, at 16h 05m. The shortest, 10h 59m on 17 December, comes four days before the winter solstice. Isha is earliest at 6:17 PM on 26 November, and Fajr is latest at 6:31 AM on 6 November.

Frequently asked questions
Is Standard or Hanafi Asr highlighted for Durham?
Standard, which comes earlier. Hanafi Asr is later in the afternoon. A switch on the page changes the highlight, and the choice carries over to other cities. Follow whichever your own practice or masjid calls for.
How much does Fajr move through the year in Durham?
It is as early as 4:30 AM on 15 June and as late as 6:31 AM on 6 November, a difference of about two hours. It moves steadily between those dates, a little later each week through the second half of the year.
Is Durham's longest fast on the summer solstice?
Yes. On 21 June the Fajr-to-Maghrib stretch is 16h 05m. The year's shortest, 10h 59m, falls on 17 December, so the swing between the two is just over five hours.
When is Isha earliest in Durham?
At 6:17 PM on 26 November, 25 days before the winter solstice. That is about three and a half weeks ahead of 21 December, so the earliest evening prayer comes well before midwinter.
