Why Fajr and Isha need an estimation rule here

At this latitude the sun does not sink a full 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so true night — and with it the astronomical basis for Fajr and Isha — does not occur for several weeks. We apply the Middle of the Night rule during that period, splitting the interval between sunset and sunrise. Your local mosque in Prachatice may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Prachatice — common questions

What time is Fajr in Prachatice today?

Fajr in Prachatice begins at 03:17 AM today. Fajr starts at true dawn, when the sun reaches a set angle below the horizon, and ends at sunrise — so this time shifts by a minute or two each day as the season changes.

Which direction is the Qibla from Prachatice?

From Prachatice, the Qibla is 134.1° from true north — roughly SE. Remember that a phone compass points to magnetic north, so you may need to correct for local magnetic declination.

Which calculation method is used for Prachatice?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Czechia. If your mosque follows a different authority, its Fajr and Isha may differ by several minutes — the calculation is identical, only the twilight angle changes.

Why do Fajr and Isha times look unusual in Prachatice during summer?

Because Prachatice sits far enough north that the sun does not drop 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so astronomical night never arrives. When that happens we apply the Middle of the Night rule rather than leaving the times undefined.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Prachatice?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Prachatice's own coordinates, not borrowed from a larger neighbouring city, so the astronomy is exactly as accurate as it is for a capital. The only caveat is that we use a single reference point for the settlement.
