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

Prayer times in Piltene — common questions

What time is Fajr in Piltene today?

Fajr in Piltene begins at 01:38 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 Piltene?

From Piltene, the Qibla is 152.0° 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 Piltene?

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 Piltene from Makkah?

Piltene lies approximately 4247 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 Piltene?

Day length in Piltene ranges from about 6.7 hours at midwinter to 18 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 11.3 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
