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

Prayer times in Ķekava — common questions
What time is Fajr in Ķekava today?
Fajr in Ķekava begins at 01:28 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 Ķekava?
From Ķekava, the Qibla is 155.6° from true north — roughly SSE. 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 Ķekava?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Latvia. 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.
How far is Ķekava from Makkah?
Ķekava lies approximately 4139 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
How much does daylight change through the year in Ķekava?
Day length in Ķekava ranges from about 6.8 hours at midwinter to 17.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 11 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
