Why Times Vary: A Few Quick Points
- Latitude & longitude: Northern cities like Delhi and Lucknow see Fajr little earlier than southern ones.
- Seasonal shift: When we move from summer to autumn, sunrise comes later, shifting Fajr slightly earlier in some places.
- Local calculation methods: Some mosques can also add small minutes depending on local convention (e.g., sun angle — 18°, 17°).
- Elevation & horizon: Hills as well as tall buildings, or even local horizon shape can also slightly delay the visible sunrise, affecting the local Fajr window.
Tips to Keep Track of Fajr Timings
- Use trusted apps: Choose platforms who are updating city-wise times daily.
- Check mosque notices: Many mosques also display updated monthly prayer charts for help.
- Plan around travel: If you are travelling between cities, timings can also shift by 20–40 minutes.
