Prayer Times in San Pablo, Costa Rica

The prayer day in San Pablo

These are San Pablo's own prayer times, not a regional approximation — they come from the coordinates 10.00° N, 84.08° W. It is a small distinction that matters in practice: the sun does not arrive everywhere in a country at once.

Where these times come from

The calculation used here is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. 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.

Suhoor and iftar in San Pablo

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 4:13 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 5:14 pm. Around 13 hours and 1 minutes without food or water today. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

How the day runs in San Pablo

Everything begins with Fajr, 4:13 am today. The sun appears at 5:26 am, which ends the Fajr period. Next is Dhuhr at 11:20 am, then Asr in the afternoon at 3:36 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 5:14 pm; Isha is the last, at 6:44 pm. That is some 11 hours and 48 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

The sun reaches its high point roughly 40 minutes before noon here. That is why Dhuhr sits at 11:20 am rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. Nothing is wrong with the calculation; timezones are political lines, and the sun does not consult them.

The yearly swing

There is not much of a yearly swing here. Daylight hovers around twelve hours all year in San Pablo, keeping the whole timetable within a narrow band.

The direction of prayer

Face east-north-east — roughly 60° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. That puts the Kaaba roughly 12,967 km — 8,057 miles — from here. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.
