Prayer times in Houghton Bay — common questions

What time is Fajr in Houghton Bay today?

Fajr in Houghton Bay begins at 05:50 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 Houghton Bay?

From Houghton Bay, the Qibla is 256.3° from true north — roughly WSW. 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 Houghton Bay?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across New Zealand. 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 much does daylight change through the year in Houghton Bay?

Day length in Houghton Bay ranges from about 9.2 hours at midwinter to 15.2 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 6 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Houghton Bay?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Houghton Bay'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.
