How are prayer times calculated for Dudley?
Sitting at roughly 52.51°N in West Midlands, Dudley 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 07:49 and Maghrib falls at 17:54, giving 10h 4m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:55) and Isha (currently 19:42) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Dudley, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 118° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 4,964 km.
Prayer times in Dudley are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check West Bromwich (6 km), Wolverhampton (9 km) and Walsall (11 km).
