Daylight in Glasgow

On 21 June, the longest day, the sun is up in Glasgow for 17 hours 35 minutes between sunrise and sunset. On 21 December, the shortest day, it is up for 6 hours 58 minutes, a difference of 10 hours 37 minutes.

Glasgow Compared With London

Dhuhr in Glasgow falls about 17 minutes after London's today, because Glasgow is further west. On 21 June, the longest day, the sun is up for 17 hours 35 minutes in Glasgow against 16 hours 39 minutes in London, so Glasgow has about 56 minutes more daylight because it is further north.

How These Times Are Calculated for Glasgow

The times for Glasgow use the Muslim World League method, which sets Fajr at 18 degrees and Isha at 17 degrees. They are worked out from the position of the sun at 55.86 degrees latitude and -4.25 degrees longitude and shown in the Europe/London time zone, so they are in local time whatever device you use. The clocks here change twice a year, and the tables follow local clock time.

Dhuhr begins just after the sun passes its highest point, and Maghrib begins at sunset. Sunrise is not a prayer time, but it marks the end of the time for Fajr, and the hours between sunrise and sunset make up the day length shown above. Asr is shown two ways: in the standard method it begins when the shadow of an object equals its height, and in the Hanafi method when the shadow equals twice its height.

These times are calculated, so they may differ by a minute or two from a mosque timetable, and congregational times are set by your local mosque.

Fajr and Isha in Glasgow

Roughly from early May to early August, the sky over Glasgow does not get dark enough for Fajr and Isha to be worked out from the sun's angle. This page uses the seventh-of-the-night rule in that period, which places Fajr a seventh of the night before sunrise and Isha a seventh of the night after Maghrib. The period lasts about 13 weeks, which is the stretch of the year when the sun stays within 18 degrees of the horizon at midnight. Local mosques may follow a different rule, so check your mosque's timetable for congregational times.

Clock Changes in Glasgow

The clocks in Glasgow change in spring and autumn, so prayer times on the clock jump by an hour on the day of the change even though the sun itself has not moved. The monthly table already follows local clock time, so you can read the times straight from it.
