Sitting at a latitude of about 51.5° in the northern hemisphere, Bristol's day length swings widely, with long summer evenings and short winter afternoons. That is why its sunrise, sunset and day-length figures change from month to month, and why prayer times here follow the position of the sun rather than a fixed clock.
The prayer times shown for Bristol are calculated using the Muslim World League. The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn. For the full picture you can open the monthly timetable, the live prayer clock, or the Qibla direction for Bristol from the tools on this site.
