What changes between summer and winter

Araputanga sits far enough from the equator for the difference to be felt. Midsummer stretches the day, midwinter compresses it, and the prayer times follow.

Other Brazil timetables

There are 50 more Brazil cities here, and each has its own times rather than sharing Araputanga's. 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 calculation behind them

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

If you are fasting

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 4:01 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 5:56 pm. Around 13 hours and 55 minutes without food or water today. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.
