How prayer times are calculated in Nicaragua
Pages for Nicaragua 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 Managua, Fajr is around 4:03 AM and Maghrib 6:12 PM around 21 June, whereas around 21 December Fajr comes at 4:45 AM and Maghrib at 5:26 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 25 min to 12 h 50 min.
Our cities in Nicaragua stretch from Corinto in the west to Puerto Cabezas in the east, and from Puerto Cabezas in the north to San Carlos in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Puerto Cabezas about 15 minutes before Corinto, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also varies between north and south, most of all in summer and winter, so the timetable of Managua cannot replace that of your own city.
