At 43.3° 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 Shumen.
When the angle is not reached, the “Diyanet (Turkey)” method uses the middle of the night: in 2026, the displayed Fajr comes from this rule on no day.
With no published national convention in Bulgaria, times follow the “Diyanet (Turkey)” method (Fajr at 18°, Isha at 17°), published in a neighbouring country.
