Sitting at a latitude of about 30.0° in the northern hemisphere, New Orleans's day length varies clearly between the long days of summer and the shorter days of winter. 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 New Orleans are calculated using the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA). The five daily prayers track the sun, so each one drifts a little earlier or later as the seasons turn.
