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

Prayer times in Bedford — common questions
What time is Fajr in Bedford today?
Fajr in Bedford begins at 02:32 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 Bedford?
From Bedford, the Qibla is 119.2° from true north — roughly ESE. 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 Bedford?
These times use the MWL convention, which is the standard recognised across United Kingdom. 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 far is Bedford from Makkah?
Bedford lies approximately 4848 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.
How much does daylight change through the year in Bedford?
Day length in Bedford ranges from about 7.7 hours at midwinter to 16.8 hours at midsummer — a swing of roughly 9.1 hours. This is why Fajr and Isha move so much between seasons while Dhuhr stays close to midday.
