Clocks change on 29 March and 25 October. Prayer times on those days shift by an hour on the clock, not in the sky. Christchurch is above 48° latitude, so in summer twilight never fully ends. The Moonsighting Committee method then limits Fajr and Isha with its seasonal adjustment, a standard high latitude rule. How prayer times are calculated
