What latitude changes in Basel
At 47.6° 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 Basel. Only the 19.5° angle is not reached on 24 nights.
The “Grand Mosque of Paris” method never uses a Fajr earlier than the seasonal durations of the Moonsighting Committee (minutes before sunrise, depending on latitude and season): in 2026, the displayed Fajr comes from this rule on 365 days, and Isha is counted in minutes after sunset.
With no published national convention in Switzerland, times follow the “Grand Mosque of Paris” method (seasonal Fajr, Isha 90 min after sunset), published in a neighbouring country.
