What time is Fajr in Upper Riccarton today?

Fajr in Upper Riccarton begins at 06:00 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 Upper Riccarton?

Which calculation method is used for Upper Riccarton?

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 far is Upper Riccarton from Makkah?

Upper Riccarton lies approximately 15034 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 Upper Riccarton?
