How are prayer times calculated for Worcester?
Worcester lies at a latitude of about 52.19°N, in Worcestershire. 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 07:51 and Maghrib falls at 17:53, giving 10h 2m between the two. As the year turns this daylight window lengthens and shortens, which is why Fajr (currently 05:57) and Isha (currently 19:40) shift gradually from week to week.
When praying in Worcester, 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 4,956 km.
