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

Prayer times in Vaiņode — common questions
What time is Fajr in Vaiņode today?
Fajr in Vaiņode begins at 01:37 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 Vaiņode?
From Vaiņode, the Qibla is 151.8° 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 Vaiņode?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Latvia. 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.
Why do Fajr and Isha times look unusual in Vaiņode during summer?
Because Vaiņode 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.
Do prayer times in Vaiņode change much between seasons?
Considerably. With a 10.9-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Vaiņode, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.
