Prayer times in Melrose — common questions

What time is Fajr in Melrose today?

Fajr in Melrose begins at 05:50 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 Melrose?

From Melrose, the Qibla is 256.3° 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 Melrose?

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 Melrose change much between seasons?

Considerably. With a 6-hour difference between the longest and shortest day, Fajr and Isha shift substantially across the year in Melrose, while Dhuhr — tied to solar noon — barely moves. Checking weekly rather than monthly is worthwhile.

How far is Melrose from Makkah?

Melrose lies approximately 15270 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.
