Prayer Times in Glew, Argentina

Glew, hour by hour

Glew sits below the equator, so the timetable moves the other way round through the year. Fajr is at its earliest in December, not June.

The calculation behind them

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

Suhoor and iftar in Glew

The fasting day here runs 4:18 am to 7:21 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 15 hours and 3 minutes. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

True midday in Glew arrives some 37 minutes after what the clock reads. It explains the 12:37 pm Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. Nothing is wrong with the calculation; timezones are political lines, and the sun does not consult them.

From Fajr to Isha

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 12:37 pm, Asr 5:24 pm — the two that carry the middle of the day. 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.

Other Argentina timetables

Argentina has 14 other cities covered on this site. It is worth switching to the right one when you travel — a few hundred kilometres east or west moves Fajr and Maghrib by a noticeable margin.

The direction of prayer

The qibla from here runs east-north-east, a bearing of about 76°. Makkah is around 12,069 kilometres (7,499 miles) away in a straight line. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.
