Prayer Times in San Vicente, Philippines

San Vicente, hour by hour

Between the last prayer of one day and the first of the next, San Vicente gets roughly 9 hours and 36 minutes of darkness. Everything else on this page hangs off the same two points: when the sun sets and when it comes back.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

Solar noon in San Vicente falls about 28 minutes before twelve o'clock. It explains the 11:32 am 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 direction of prayer

The qibla from here runs west-north-west, a bearing of about 289°. That puts the Kaaba roughly 8,736 km — 5,428 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.

Today's timetable

The day's first prayer, Fajr, falls at 4:28 am. The sun appears at 5:43 am, which ends the Fajr period. Midday brings Dhuhr at 11:32 am; Asr comes round at 3:45 pm. Maghrib comes with sunset at 5:22 pm, and Isha closes the day at 6:52 pm. Around 11 hours and 39 minutes of daylight, all told.

A note on the method used

These times follow 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.

What changes between summer and winter

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

Fasting hours

The fasting day here runs 4:28 am to 5:22 pm: suhoor closes at the first, iftar comes at the second. Today it works out to some 12 hours and 54 minutes. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.
