What latitude changes in Melbourne
At 37.8° latitude, the Sun sinks more than 18° below the horizon every night of the year: Fajr and Isha at 18° exist all year round in Melbourne.
When the angle is not reached, the “Muslim World League” method uses the middle of the night: in 2026, the displayed Fajr comes from this rule on no day.
No national convention was found for Australia: times follow the most widely used method, Muslim World League (Fajr at 18°, Isha at 17°).
