How are prayer times calculated for Salford?
Sitting at roughly 53.49°N in Greater Manchester, Salford 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 07:54 and Maghrib falls at 17:50, giving 9h 56m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:57) and Isha (currently 19:41) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Salford, 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 5,028 km.
Prayer times in Salford are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Manchester (3 km), Stockport (12 km) and Bury (12 km).
