How prayer times in Uppsala change through the year
Prayer times in Uppsala vary a lot between the seasons. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at about 1:53 AM and Maghrib at 10:16 PM, giving a day of 18 h 49 min. Around the winter solstice (21 December) Fajr moves to 6:05 AM and Maghrib to 2:45 PM, and the day lasts only 5 h 55 min.
