How are prayer times calculated for Southampton?
Sitting at roughly 50.91°N in Hampshire, Southampton 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 07:22 and Maghrib falls at 18:21, giving 10h 59m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:32) and Isha (currently 20:04) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Southampton, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 117° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 4,841 km.
Prayer times in Southampton are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Portsmouth (24 km), Bournemouth (40 km) and Basingstoke (45 km).
