Manchester prayer times overview
For Manchester it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Local time is applied for Manchester: the city's time zone is 2 часа behind Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Manchester geographic location is 53.4808°N, 2.2426°W. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Manchester 15 часов 23 минуты passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:33, while the evening prayer begins at 20:56. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов 2 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:56 and the morning Fajr at 02:58. For Manchester this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Manchester the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.
If you plan your day around the Manchester prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:58 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:56 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:22 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Manchester, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Manchester
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
Prayer times in Manchester are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:58) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:56) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Manchester according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
