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

Prayer times in Simpele — common questions
What time is Fajr in Simpele today?
Fajr in Simpele begins at 01:06 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 Simpele?
From Simpele, the Qibla is 165.0° from true north — roughly SSE. 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 Simpele?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Finland. 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 Simpele?
Day length in Simpele ranges from about 5.4 hours at midwinter to 19.5 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 14.1 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 Simpele during summer?
Because Simpele 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.
