Praying in Rochester

A Rochester fast is 17h 12m on 20 June but only 10h 25m on 17 December, a swing of nearly seven hours. The longest fasting day comes one day before the summer solstice on 21 June, and the shortest four days before the winter one on 21 December.

Isha follows a similar arc at 43.2 degrees north, from 6:00 PM on 4 December to 10:43 PM on 23 June. Fajr is earliest at 3:42 AM on 14 June, a week before the solstice, so the stretch from Fajr to Maghrib builds quickly through early June.

Frequently asked questions

How do Ramadan fasts in Rochester compare with a summer day?

Expected from around 8 February to 8 March, Ramadan fasts run from 11h 34m to 12h 51m. Even the last one is more than four hours shorter than the June maximum of 17h 12m, and the first is just over an hour above the December low of 10h 25m.

When do the clocks change in Rochester this year?

Forward on 14 March and back on 7 November, in 2027. Ramadan is expected to finish around 8 March, so the spring change falls shortly after it, not during it.

Which way is the Qibla from Rochester?

It is 56 degrees clockwise from true north, closer to north-east than to east. On a sphere, the shortest route from western New York to Makkah crosses the North Atlantic, so the direction is far from the south-east a flat map shows.

How early does Fajr get in Rochester?

3:42 AM on 14 June is the earliest, seven days before the solstice. Sunrise is already moving later by then, and Fajr, which follows it, has begun to move later too, even though the days are still getting longer.
