Leeds Compared With London

Dhuhr in Leeds falls about 6 minutes after London's today, because Leeds is further west. On 21 June, the longest day, the sun is up for 17 hours 6 minutes in Leeds against 16 hours 39 minutes in London, so Leeds has about 27 minutes more daylight because it is further north.

How These Times Are Calculated for Leeds

The times for Leeds 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 53.80 degrees latitude and -1.55 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 Leeds

Roughly from mid May to late July, the sky over Leeds 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 11 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 Leeds

The clocks in Leeds 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.
