Prayer times in Bellegarde-sur-Valserine — common questions

What time is Fajr in Bellegarde-sur-Valserine today?

Fajr in Bellegarde-sur-Valserine begins at 04:16 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 Bellegarde-sur-Valserine?

From Bellegarde-sur-Valserine, the Qibla is 120.2° 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 Bellegarde-sur-Valserine?

These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across France. 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.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Bellegarde-sur-Valserine?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Bellegarde-sur-Valserine'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.

Do prayer times in Bellegarde-sur-Valserine change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 7.2-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Bellegarde-sur-Valserine, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
