Prayer Times in Porto Alegre, Brazil

The prayer day in Porto Alegre

Sunrise 5:32 am, sunset 6:46 pm — about 13 hours and 14 minutes of daylight in Porto Alegre today. Prayer times are anchored to the sun rather than the clock, so as that figure grows and shrinks across the year, every time below moves with it.

A note on the method used

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

The last third of the night

Between Isha at 8:16 pm and Fajr at 4:03 am there are about 7 hours and 47 minutes. If you pray tahajjud, the final third of that stretch is the one to aim for; counting backwards from Fajr is the easier way to locate it.

Other Brazil timetables

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

Through the year

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