What latitude changes in Edinburgh
At 56° latitude, even the 12° angle is not reached on 40 nights in Edinburgh, and the Sun stays above −18° on 96 nights, from May 4 to August 7: dawn and the end of twilight do not exist in the astronomical sense on those nights.
The “Moonsighting Committee” 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, Isha on 365 days.
No national convention was found for the United Kingdom: times follow the most widely used method, Moonsighting Committee (seasonal Fajr, Isha at 18°).
