Prayer times in Sa'dah by season
Prayer times in Sa'dah vary a lot over the year. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at around 4:11 AM and Maghrib at 6:41 PM, giving a day of 13 h 08 min. Around the winter solstice (21 December) Fajr moves to 5:12 AM and Maghrib to 5:36 PM, and the day lasts only 11 h 07 min. That is a difference of 2 h 01 min between the longest and the shortest day, and it explains why the adhan moves noticeably from month to month.
