Prayer Times in San Diego — January 2026

Reading the January 2026 table

Today’s Islamic salah schedule for San Diego — Sunday, 30 August 2026 — is Fajr at 05:12, Dhuhr at 12:49, Asr at 16:26, Maghrib at 19:17 and Isha at 20:26. Sunrise (Shuruq) is 06:22. Times are computed from the city’s coordinates, the America/Los_Angeles timezone (UTC−7 · PDT), the Islamic Society of North America convention and Standard (single-shadow) Asr.

Coordinates for San Diego: 32.7157, -117.1611. Time zone America/Los_Angeles (UTC−7 · PDT) already includes daylight saving when the zone observes it, so you do not add or subtract an hour by hand in August. The urban area is on the order of 1.4 million people.

For the latitude of San Diego, day length changes clearly from winter to summer. In August 2026 sunrise is 06:22 and Maghrib is 19:17. Dhuhr (12:49) sits near local solar noon. That seasonal swing is the reason a UK timetable cannot be reused in United States, and why this page is calculated from San Diego’s own coordinates rather than a national average.

Calculation for San Diego starts from Islamic Society of North America. 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. Many North American Islamic centres follow ISNA (15°/15°). If your masjid prints later Fajr than this page, switch the method to ISNA.

Travellers through San Diego should remember that airport and hotel clocks follow civil time, which this timetable already uses. Maghrib is tied to sunset at the city’s coordinates, not to the time a flight lands.

Qibla from San Diego is 25.3° from true north (NNE), about 13,518 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 Los Angeles (179 km), prayer times in Las Vegas (426 km), prayer times in Phoenix (481 km), prayer times in San Jose (670 km), prayer times in Oakland (731 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 San Diego is typically accurate to one or two minutes on a clear horizon.
