Salah times Yüksekova: calculation method and Asr

Method: Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı method (Turkey). Asr: Standard.

Times follow Diyanet's official method: İmsak (Fajr) at 18°, Yatsı (Isha) at 17°, plus temkin, the fixed precaution minutes Diyanet adds (sunrise −7, Dhuhr +5, Asr +4, Maghrib +7). In Turkey İmsak is when the fast begins and equals Fajr here. For the places we checked, our minutes match Diyanet's published tables or differ by one minute at most, because Diyanet may use slightly different coordinates for a town. Switch the method or the Asr school below if your mosque follows another timetable.

Yüksekova does not change its clocks; times stay on Europe/Istanbul all year. How times are calculated

Yüksekova, the Sun and the clock

Yüksekova is in Hakkari and has about 72,000 people. The nearest larger city is Van, 129 km to the northwest. Yüksekova lies almost on the 45° E meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest close to 12:00 on the clock, around 12:03 on average. Dhuhr begins just after that moment.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Yüksekova: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 76° above the horizon in June and only 29° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Yüksekova range from 9h 34m in December to 14h 46m in June, a difference of 5h 12m, and Fajr, Maghrib and Isha shift with them. At 1,874 m above sea level, Yüksekova sits on high ground. Times are calculated for a level horizon; from a hilltop or a tall building sunrise can come a little earlier and sunset a little later than listed, while mountains to the east or west do the opposite.

Maghrib time Yüksekova compared with nearby cities
