How are prayer times calculated for Huddersfield?
Huddersfield lies at a latitude of about 53.65°N, in West Yorkshire. Because prayer times depend on the position of the sun at a given location, the timings here are calculated specifically for these coordinates rather than borrowed from another town.
Today the sun rises at 07:47 and Maghrib falls at 17:54, giving 10h 7m 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 Huddersfield, 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 5,007 km.
Prayer times in Huddersfield 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), Dewsbury (11 km) and Batley (13 km).
