Prayer Times in San Luis Potosí, Mexico

San Luis Potosí prayer times explained

Every time on this page traces back to one pair of numbers: 22.15° N, 100.98° W, the position of San Luis Potosí itself. A city an hour down the road will have times a few minutes apart from these, which is exactly why a country-wide timetable is a rough guide at best.

How the times are worked out

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib are largely settled across methods; Fajr and Isha are where authorities part company. For Asr this page uses the Hanafi position — later in the day than the majority view. A small gap between this page and your nearest masjid is nothing to worry about; go with theirs.

The direction of prayer

Face north-east — roughly 44° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. That puts the Kaaba roughly 13,570 km — 8,432 miles — from here.

If you are fasting

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 5:29 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 6:08 pm. Around 12 hours and 39 minutes without food or water today. The full month is listed below if you want to see where the fast is heading.

Clock time and solar time

Solar noon in San Luis Potosí falls about 28 minutes after twelve o'clock. That is why Dhuhr sits at 12:28 pm rather than just past midday, and it carries through to Asr, Maghrib and Isha as well. This catches people out regularly, but prayer follows the sun, and the clock is only the label we put on it.

Season by season in San Luis Potosí

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in San Luis Potosí brings earlier Fajr times and a later Isha; winter pulls everything inward, and Maghrib can arrive while the afternoon still feels unfinished. Expect an hour or two of movement between the extremes.
