How are prayer times calculated for Sheffield?
Sitting at roughly 53.38°N in South Yorkshire, Sheffield 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 17:49, giving 10h 0m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:52) and Isha (currently 19:40) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Sheffield, 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 4,975 km.
