How are prayer times calculated for Walsall?
Walsall lies at a latitude of about 52.59°N, in West Midlands. Because prayer times depend on the position of the sun at a given location, the timings here are calculated specifically for these coordinates rather than borrowed from another town.
Today the sun rises at 07:45 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 05:51) and Isha (currently 19:45) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Walsall, 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 4,962 km.
