Prayer Times in Tijuana, Mexico

Tijuana, hour by hour

There are around 13,531 kilometres (8,408 miles) between Tijuana and Makkah. At that range the great-circle route matters: the qibla from here runs north-north-east, about 25°, which surprises people expecting otherwise.

The last third of the night

From Isha to Fajr is around 10 hours and 10 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.

Why your mosque may differ slightly

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. 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 here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. If the mosque down the road announces something a few minutes different, pray with the mosque.

Clock time and solar time

The sun reaches its high point roughly 32 minutes after noon here. It explains the 12:32 pm Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. Nothing is wrong with the calculation; timezones are political lines, and the sun does not consult them.

The fasting day in Tijuana

Stop eating by 5:39 am; break the fast at 5:59 pm. That is about 12 hours and 20 minutes on today's times. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

Season by season in Tijuana

Tijuana sits far enough from the equator for the difference to be felt. Midsummer stretches the day, midwinter compresses it, and the prayer times follow.
