How are prayer times calculated for Wolverhampton?
Wolverhampton 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 07:48 and Maghrib falls at 17:56, giving 10h 8m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:53) and Isha (currently 19:44) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Wolverhampton, 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 4,971 km.
Prayer times in Wolverhampton are very close to those in neighbouring towns, though they differ by a minute or two with distance. Nearby you can also check Dudley (9 km), Walsall (10 km) and West Bromwich (12 km).
