Season by season in Ossining

Summer and winter look like different timetables entirely in Ossining. The times can shift by several hours between the two ends of the year.

The last third of the night

Between Isha at 7:25 pm and Fajr at 5:48 am there are about 10 hours and 23 minutes. For anyone praying tahajjud, the last third of that period is the part traditionally singled out — work back from Fajr rather than forward from Isha to find it.

How the day runs in Ossining

The day's first prayer, Fajr, falls at 5:48 am. Sunrise at 7:23 am closes that window. Next is Dhuhr at 12:39 pm, then Asr in the afternoon at 4:13 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:55 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 7:25 pm. That gives Ossining roughly 10 hours and 32 minutes of daylight today.

How the times are worked out

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

Clock time and solar time

The sun reaches its high point roughly 39 minutes after noon here. Hence Dhuhr at 12:39 pm, with the rest of the afternoon following along behind it. It is not an error — timezones are drawn for administrative convenience, not astronomical accuracy.
