Prayer Times in Cheam, United Kingdom

Cheam, hour by hour

This far north, Cheam gets a prayer schedule that swings hard between summer and winter. Summer brings very early Fajr times and a late Isha; in December, Maghrib arrives while the afternoon still feels young.

The calculation behind them

The underlying method is 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.

The fasting day in Cheam

Stop eating by 4:56 am; break the fast at 4:36 pm. That is about 11 hours and 40 minutes on today's times. Scroll to the month view to see how the length changes as Ramadan progresses.

The shape of the day

Lining up with the Kaaba

Turn east-south-east, about 119°, for the qibla. Makkah is around 4,791 kilometres (2,977 miles) away in a straight line. If you are marking a permanent direction in a room, check true north rather than trusting a phone compass alone.
