How are prayer times calculated for Swansea?
Sitting at roughly 51.62°N in Wales, Swansea 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 07:53 and Maghrib falls at 18:05, giving 10h 12m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 06:01) and Isha (currently 19:51) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Swansea, the Qibla is faced towards the Kaaba in Makkah, which lies on a bearing of 115° from here, roughly to the south-east — a great-circle distance of about 5,035 km.
Prayer times in Swansea are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Cardiff (55 km), Newport (65 km) and Bristol (96 km).
