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

Prayer times in Waterbeach — common questions

What time is Fajr in Waterbeach today?

Fajr in Waterbeach begins at 02:31 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 Waterbeach?

From Waterbeach, the Qibla is 120.0° from true north — roughly ESE. 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 Waterbeach?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across United Kingdom. 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 Waterbeach?

Day length in Waterbeach ranges from about 7.7 hours at midwinter to 16.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 9.1 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

Why do Fajr and Isha times look unusual in Waterbeach during summer?

Because Waterbeach sits far enough north that the sun does not drop 18° below the horizon around midsummer, so astronomical night never arrives. When that happens we apply the Middle of the Night rule rather than leaving the times undefined.
