How Weldiya's prayer times are worked out

From Weldiya, the Qibla is 1° from true north. Face north to pray toward the Kaaba. It lies 1,067 km (663 miles) away in a straight line across the globe. Every time on this page is worked out from Weldiya's own coordinates (11.83°N, 39.59°E), not a national average. That is why Weldiya's times and its Qibla differ a little from cities a short distance away.

One local quirk shapes the Weldiya timetable: midday prayer does not land at 12:00. Weldiya lies well west inside its Addis Ababa time zone. So the sun peaks about 30 minutes after clock noon. Dhuhr follows the sun, not the clock — today it falls at 12:20 PM. Across the year, the fast here runs from about 14h 08m near June down to 12h 42m in December.

The Fajr and Isha angles for Weldiya 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 Alamata, Dessie and Kombolcha. Each is only a few minutes off Weldiya's clock.
