How are prayer times calculated for Solihull?
Sitting at roughly 52.41°N in West Midlands, Solihull 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 07:44 and Maghrib falls at 17:57, giving 10h 12m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:50) and Isha (currently 19:44) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Solihull, 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 4,941 km.
Prayer times in Solihull are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Birmingham (11 km), Redditch (16 km) and Coventry (18 km).
