Prayer times in Nuku‘alofa — common questions
What time is Fajr in Nuku‘alofa today?
Fajr in Nuku‘alofa begins at 05:54 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 Nuku‘alofa?
From Nuku‘alofa, the Qibla is 277.0° from true north — roughly W. 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 Nuku‘alofa?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Tonga. 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 Nuku‘alofa?
Day length in Nuku‘alofa ranges from about 10.8 hours at midwinter to 13.4 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 2.6 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 Nuku‘alofa?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Nuku‘alofa'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.
