Prayer times by region in Tonga

Our pages in Tonga are organised in 5 regions. Choose your region, then your city: each page has its own coordinates, which is why the times change by a few minutes from one place to the next, from east to west and north to south.

How prayer times are calculated in Tonga

Pages for Tonga 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+13). In the capital Nuku'alofa, Fajr is around 4:31 AM and Maghrib 7:22 PM around 21 December, while around 21 June Fajr comes at 5:58 AM and Maghrib at 6:08 PM. Daylight there ranges from 10 h 51 min to 13 h 25 min.

Our cities in Tonga stretch from Nuku'alofa in the west to Hihifo in the east, and from Hihifo in the north to 'Ohonua in the south. Because of this spread, the sun reaches its zenith in Hihifo about 6 minutes before Nuku'alofa, 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 Nuku'alofa cannot replace that of your own city.
