Prayer Times in Pouso Alegre, Brazil

Pouso Alegre, hour by hour

Pouso Alegre sits below the equator, so the timetable moves the other way round through the year. The longest days fall around the turn of the year rather than midsummer, so northern-hemisphere advice gets the season backwards for anyone here.

Other Brazil timetables

Brazil has 50 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 night in between

Pouso Alegre gets roughly 8 hours and 16 minutes of night between the last prayer and the first. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.

How the times are worked out

Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah is the standard applied to this page. The disagreement between methods lives almost entirely in Fajr and Isha, where the sun is below the horizon and the chosen angle decides the time. Asr is Hanafi on this page, so expect it later than a Shafi timetable would show. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

The direction of prayer

Turn east-north-east, about 69°, for the qibla. Makkah is around 10,482 kilometres (6,513 miles) away in a straight line. If you are marking a permanent direction in a room, check true north rather than trusting a phone compass alone.
