The schools differ in the details, for example about the time after Asr and about make-up prayers, so ask your own scholar if you are unsure.

Daylight saving

29 March, 25 OctoberEurope/Berlin

Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Westerstede is above 48° latitude, so in summer twilight never fully ends. Fajr and Isha then use the seventh-of-the-night rule, a standard high latitude adjustment. How times are calculated

Westerstede, the Sun and the clock

Westerstede is in Lower Saxony and has about 22,000 people. The nearest larger city is Oldenburg, 23 km to the southeast. Westerstede lies 7.1° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 28 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:28, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:28.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Westerstede: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 60° above the horizon in June and only 13° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Westerstede range from just 7h 31m in December to 16h 59m in June, a difference of 9h 28m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
