How are prayer times calculated for Stevenage?
Sitting at roughly 51.90°N in Hertfordshire, Stevenage 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 07:37 and Maghrib falls at 17:52, giving 10h 14m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:44) and Isha (currently 19:38) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Stevenage, 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 4,820 km.
