Tonight's night prayer times and tomorrow morning's voluntary prayer times in Durham, worked out from the same Maghrib and Fajr times as the table above.

Duha

07:50 – 11:56From Ishraq until Dhuhr (11:56)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 07:35), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:56) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:09). 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 Durham with the same method as the rest of this page; they are not congregation times.

Daylight saving

29 March, 25 OctoberEurope/London

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

Durham, the Sun and the clock

Durham is in England and has about 48,000 people. Durham lies 1.6° west of the 0° meridian that its time zone is based on. The Sun therefore reaches its highest point about 6 minutes after 12:00 on average, around 12:06, and Dhuhr comes later than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 13:06.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Durham: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 59° above the horizon in June and only 12° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Durham range from just 7h 13m in December to 17h 19m in June, a difference of 10h 6m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
