How prayer times are calculated in Guatemala
Times for Guatemala use the Muslim World League method: Fajr when the sun is 18° below the horizon and Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon. Times are shown in local time (UTC−6). In the capital Guatemala City, Fajr is about 4:14 AM and Maghrib 6:34 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:06 AM and Maghrib at 5:38 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 16 min to 13 h.
Our cities in Guatemala stretch from Malacatán in the west to Puerto Barrios in the east, and from Flores in the north to Puerto San José in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Puerto Barrios about 14 minutes before Malacatán, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Guatemala City cannot replace that of your own city.
