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 Castel may use a different convention; where they differ, follow the mosque.

Prayer times in Castel — common questions
What time is Fajr in Castel today?
Fajr in Castel begins at 03:19 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 Castel?
From Castel, the Qibla is 114.4° from true north — roughly ESE. 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 Castel?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Guernsey. 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 Castel during summer?
Because Castel 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.
Do prayer times in Castel change much between seasons?
Considerably. With a 8.1-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Castel, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
