Prayer Times in Tancítaro, Mexico

Tancítaro, hour by hour

The night in Tancítaro runs about 9 hours and 46 minutes at the moment — Isha at 7:47 pm to Fajr at 5:33 am. That span is what the last third of the night is measured against, so it shifts along with the rest of the timetable through the year.

The calculation behind them

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. 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.

Suhoor and iftar in Tancítaro

Suhoor ends at Fajr — 5:33 am today — and the fast breaks at Maghrib, 6:17 pm. Around 12 hours and 44 minutes without food or water today. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

The yearly swing

The seasons show here without dominating. Summer in Tancítaro 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.

The shape of the day

Everything begins with Fajr, 5:33 am today. The window stays open until sunrise, 6:49 am. Next is Dhuhr at 12:33 pm, then Asr in the afternoon at 4:41 pm. Sunset brings Maghrib at 6:17 pm; Isha is the last, at 7:47 pm. That is some 11 hours and 28 minutes between the sun coming up and going down.

Finding the qibla

Face north-east — roughly 44° on a compass — and you are pointed at the Kaaba. The distance works out to about 13,895 kilometres, or 8,634 miles. If you are marking a permanent direction in a room, check true north rather than trusting a phone compass alone.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

Solar noon in Tancítaro falls about 33 minutes after twelve o'clock. That is why Dhuhr sits at 12:33 pm 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.

If you are travelling

There are 23 more Mexico cities here, and each has its own times rather than sharing Tancítaro's. 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.
