How San Fernando's prayer times are worked out

From San Fernando, the Qibla is 98° from true north. Face east to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 4,729 km (2,939 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from San Fernando's own coordinates (36.48°N, 6.20°W), not a national average. That is why San Fernando's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the San Fernando timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. San Fernando lies well west inside its Madrid time zone. So the sun peaks about 93 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 2:23 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 16h 30m near June down to 11h 13m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for San Fernando come from the Muslim World League. The Muslim World League method sets Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon, and Isha at 17°. Use ISNA's 15° instead and Fajr here would move by several minutes. So the method — not the coordinates alone — settles the final time. We also publish times for nearby Chiclana de la Frontera, Cadiz and El Puerto de Santa María. Each is only a few minutes off San Fernando's clock.
