The prayer times shift every day with the movement of the sun, so there is no fixed timetable for Wales. We use the Muslim World League method (Fajr 18°, Isha when the sun is 17° below the horizon) and the local time zone (UTC, UTC+1 in summer). The countdown at the top tells you how long is left until the next prayer, based on the clock of your device.

Summer and winter prayer times in Wales

Prayer times in Wales change noticeably between the seasons. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at around 2:43 AM and Maghrib at 9:34 PM, giving a day of 16 h 38 min. Around the winter solstice (21 December) Fajr moves to 6:11 AM and Maghrib to 4:06 PM, and the day lasts only 7 h 50 min. That is a difference of 8 h 48 min between the longest and the shortest day, and it explains why the adhan moves noticeably from month to month.
