How are prayer times calculated for Darlington?
Sitting at roughly 54.52°N in County Durham, Darlington 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 07:52 and Maghrib falls at 17:47, giving 9h 55m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:52) and Isha (currently 19:40) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Darlington, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 120° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 5,043 km.
Prayer times in Darlington are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Middlesbrough (22 km), Sunderland (44 km) and Gateshead (48 km).
