How prayer times are calculated in Saint Helena

Times for Saint Helena 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). In the capital Jamestown, Fajr is around 4:28 AM and Maghrib 6:53 PM around 21 December, whereas around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:32 AM and Maghrib at 6:00 PM. Daylight there ranges from 11 h 11 min to 13 h 05 min.

Our cities in Saint Helena stretch from Georgetown in the west to Jamestown in the east, and from Georgetown in the north to Edinburgh of the Seven Seas in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Jamestown about 35 minutes before Georgetown, even though the clock is the same everywhere. Day length also differs between north and south, especially in summer and winter, so the timetable of Jamestown is no substitute for that of your own city.
