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

Prayer times in Alma — common questions
What time is Fajr in Alma today?
Fajr in Alma begins at 03:02 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 Alma?
From Alma, the Qibla is 60.1° from true north — roughly ENE. 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 Alma?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Canada. 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 Alma?
Day length in Alma ranges from about 8.3 hours at midwinter to 16.1 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 7.8 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 Alma during summer?
Because Alma 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.
