Why your mosque may differ slightly

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

Finding the qibla

The qibla from here runs east-north-east, a bearing of about 76°. The distance works out to about 12,062 kilometres, or 7,495 miles.

The shape of the day

Fajr opens the day at 4:18 am, well before first light. By 5:53 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Dhuhr follows at 12:37 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 5:24 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 7:21 pm, and Isha closes the day at 8:51 pm. Around 13 hours and 28 minutes of daylight, all told.

Clock time and solar time

Solar noon in Claypole falls about 37 minutes after twelve o'clock. Hence Dhuhr at 12:37 pm, with the rest of the afternoon following along behind it. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

Through the year

Across the year the Claypole timetable shifts by an hour or two at each end — long summer evenings push Isha back, short winter days crowd Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib together.
