Prayer times in Tanout — common questions
What time is Fajr in Tanout today?
Fajr in Tanout begins at 04:52 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 Tanout?
From Tanout, the Qibla is 73.0° from true north — roughly ENE. 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 Tanout?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across Niger. 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 Tanout?
Day length in Tanout ranges from about 11.2 hours at midwinter to 13 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 1.8 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 Tanout?
Yes. Prayer times are computed from Tanout'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.
