Prayer Times in Preston — November 2026

Reading the November 2026 table

If you are in Preston today (Sunday, 30 August 2026), the five daily prayers fall at 03:59 (Fajr), 13:11 (Dhuhr), 16:57 (Asr), 20:07 (Maghrib) and 22:13 (Isha). Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the Europe/London timezone (UTC+1 · BST), the Muslim World League convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Preston is listed under England in United Kingdom. The engine uses 53.7632 latitude and -2.7031 longitude with IANA zone Europe/London. A mosque a few kilometres away will usually match these times to the minute; a different city, even in the same metro area, can drift by two to five minutes because longitude shifts solar noon. The listed population is about 140,000 people.

For the latitude of Preston, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:16 and Maghrib is 20:07. Dhuhr (13:11) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in United Kingdom, and why this page is calculated from Preston’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for Preston starts from Muslim World League. Changing the method moves Fajr and Isha by several minutes; changing Asr madhhab moves only Asr. Asr is shown with the Standard shadow factor of 1, used by the Shafi'i, Maliki and Hanbali schools and by most Western mosque boards. UK mosques often follow the Muslim World League or a local board such as the London Central Mosque / HMC. A one-minute precaution is common in winter.

Preston (United Kingdom) has both long-established and newer Muslim communities. Jumu'ah times are set by each mosque and are not computed here — only the five daily prayers and sunrise.

Qibla from Preston is 118.2° from true north (ESE), about 5,066 km from the Kaaba in Makkah. A phone compass is only as good as its calibration; once you have identified a wall that faces that bearing, you can mark it and stop re-measuring every day. Magnetic declination is not applied on this page — the figure is geographic, which is what a qibla diagram expects.

Nearby timetables: prayer times in Blackburn (14 km), prayer times in Bolton (28 km), prayer times in Rochdale (40 km), prayer times in Manchester (44 km), prayer times in Liverpool (44 km). Neighbouring cities share almost the same latitude, so Fajr and Isha usually differ by one to four minutes — mostly longitude and the minute the time zone snaps to.

This page is an astronomical estimate, not a fatwa and not a substitute for the announcement in your local masjid. Some congregations publish a one- to three-minute precaution. If your mosque uses a different Fajr angle, switch the method above or apply a manual minute offset. For personal prayer, a coordinate-based calculation for Preston is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
