Fajr and Isha at high latitudes
From 21 May to 22 July the sun in Bicester never sinks 18.0° below the horizon, so the twilight that defines Fajr never fully ends.
For Isha (17.0°) this happens from 26 May to 17 July.
On those dates Fajr and Isha are estimated with the angle-based rule: the night is divided in proportion to the twilight angle, e.g. 18/60 of the night for 18°. You can choose another rule in the calculation settings.
Prayer times by calculation method, 9 November
