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

Islamic midnight

Last third of the night (Tahajjud)

01:06Until Fajr at 05:34

Duha

07:25 – 11:45From Ishraq until Dhuhr (11:45)

Voluntary prayer is disliked while the sun is rising (until about 15 minutes after sunrise at 07:10), at its zenith (just before Dhuhr at 11:45) and while it is setting (just before Maghrib at 16:12). 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 Folkestone 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. Folkestone 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

Folkestone, the Sun and the clock

Folkestone is in England and has about 66,000 people. Folkestone lies 1.2° east of the 0° meridian that its time zone is based on, so the Sun is highest about 5 minutes before 12:00 on average, around 11:55, and Dhuhr comes earlier than the clock suggests. In summer, when the clocks go forward an hour, that moment moves to around 12:55.

The Sun never stands straight overhead in Folkestone: at Dhuhr it climbs to about 62° above the horizon in June and only 15° in December, so noon shadows are much longer in December. Days in Folkestone range from just 7h 54m in December to 16h 34m in June, a difference of 8h 40m. Prayer times move a lot through the year: in June Fajr comes very early and Isha very late.
