Duha

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 07:26), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 12:08) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:48). 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.

The night is counted from Maghrib to the next Fajr. Times are calculated for Herisau with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

29 March, 25 OctoberEurope/Zurich

Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. How times are calculated

Herisau, the Sun and the clock

Herisau is the main city of Appenzell Ausserrhoden, home to about 16,000 people. The nearest larger city is Sankt Gallen, 8 km to the east-northeast. Herisau lies 5.7° west of the 15° E meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 23 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:23, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:23.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Herisau: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 66° above the horizon in June and only 19° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Herisau range from just 8h 27m in December to 15h 57m in June, a difference of 7h 30m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
