Prayer times in Lyttelton — common questions

What time is Fajr in Lyttelton today?

Fajr in Lyttelton begins at 06:00 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 Lyttelton?

From Lyttelton, the Qibla is 255.8° from true north — roughly WSW. 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 Lyttelton?

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

Do prayer times in Lyttelton change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 6.5-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Lyttelton, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.

How far is Lyttelton from Makkah?

Lyttelton lies approximately 15044 km from the Kaaba in Makkah, measured as a great circle across the Earth's surface. That distance is what determines the Qibla bearing shown above.
