How are prayer times calculated for Bradford?
Sitting at roughly 53.80°N in West Yorkshire, Bradford has its own sunrise and sunset each day, so its prayer times are worked out from its exact position rather than a regional average.
Today the sun rises at 07:47 and Maghrib falls at 17:54, giving 10h 6m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:49) and Isha (currently 19:45) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Bradford, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 119° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 5,014 km.
Prayer times in Bradford are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Halifax (10 km), Batley (12 km) and Keighley (13 km).
