The fasting day in Melendugno

A quirk of the timezone

True midday in Melendugno arrives some 30 minutes before what the clock reads. That is why Dhuhr sits at 11:30 am rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.

Why your mosque may differ slightly

The underlying method is Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Where two calculations disagree it is nearly always Fajr or Isha: those depend on twilight, and twilight is a judgement call. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. Local practice wins over any website, this one included.

Lining up with the Kaaba

The qibla from here runs south-east, a bearing of about 129°. That puts the Kaaba roughly 2,917 km — 1,813 miles — from here. 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.

For tahajjud

From Isha to Fajr is around 10 hours and 23 minutes at the moment. 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.

How much the times move

Summer and winter look like different timetables entirely in Melendugno. The times can shift by several hours between the two ends of the year.
