Prayer times by region in Micronesia
Our pages in Micronesia are organised in 4 regions. Choose your region, then your city: every page has its own coordinates, so the times differ by a few minutes between cities, east to west and from north to south.
How prayer times are calculated in Micronesia
Times for Micronesia 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 the local time of each city (UTC+10; UTC+11). In the capital Palikir, Fajr is around 4:57 AM and Maghrib 6:45 PM around 21 June, while around 21 December Fajr comes at 5:18 AM and Maghrib at 6:17 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 43 min to 12 h 32 min.
Our cities in Micronesia stretch from Colonia in the west to Tofol in the east, and from Colonia in the north to Tofol in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Tofol about 100 minutes before Colonia, which is one reason the country uses several time zones. Day length also varies between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Palikir is no substitute for that of your own city.
