Prayer times in Cairns City — common questions

What time is Fajr in Cairns City today?

Fajr in Cairns City begins at 05:27 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 Cairns City?

From Cairns City, the Qibla is 287.1° from true north — roughly WNW. 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 Cairns City?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Australia. 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 Cairns City?

Day length in Cairns City ranges from about 11.1 hours at midwinter to 13.1 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 2 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 Cairns City?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Cairns City'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.
