How are prayer times calculated for Lincoln?
Sitting at roughly 53.23°N in Lincolnshire, Lincoln 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 07:45 and Maghrib falls at 17:46, giving 10h 1m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:48) and Isha (currently 19:36) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Lincoln, 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 4,913 km.
Prayer times in Lincoln are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Scunthorpe (40 km), Mansfield (45 km) and Grimsby (48 km).
