Prayer Times in Manduri, Brazil

Praying in Manduri

One thing to keep in mind about Manduri: the seasons run opposite to most prayer timetables published online. December and January bring the long days here, while June and July are the short ones — the reverse of what most published guidance assumes.

The shape of the day

Fajr opens the day at 4:12 am, well before first light. You have until 5:34 am, when the sun comes up. Midday brings Dhuhr at 12:01 pm; Asr comes round at 4:35 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 6:28 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:58 pm. That gives Manduri roughly 12 hours and 54 minutes of daylight today.

How the times are worked out

Calculations come from Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

If you are fasting

Suhoor closes at 4:12 am in Manduri, with iftar at 6:28 pm. Roughly 14 hours and 16 minutes, going by today's figures. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

Elsewhere in Brazil

There are 50 more Brazil cities here, and each has its own times rather than sharing Manduri's. The list under the timetable below will take you to any of them.

Lining up with the Kaaba

From this city the direction is east-north-east, or 70° if you prefer the number. The distance works out to about 10,838 kilometres, or 6,734 miles. Compass apps usually read magnetic north rather than true north, so allow a few degrees of local declination if you are setting a prayer mat precisely.
