How are prayer times calculated for Milton Keynes?
Milton Keynes lies at a latitude of about 52.04°N, in Buckinghamshire. 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 07:41 and Maghrib falls at 17:52, giving 10h 10m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:48) and Isha (currently 19:38) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Milton Keynes, 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 4,860 km.
