Prayer times in Otumoetai — common questions

What time is Fajr in Otumoetai today?

Fajr in Otumoetai begins at 05:42 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 Otumoetai?

From Otumoetai, the Qibla is 259.2° from true north — roughly W. 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 Otumoetai?

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.

How much does daylight change through the year in Otumoetai?

Day length in Otumoetai ranges from about 9.6 hours at midwinter to 14.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 5.2 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.

Are these times accurate for a place the size of Otumoetai?

Yes. Prayer times are computed from Otumoetai'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.
