Prayer times in Los Angeles

Which way to face

From Los Angeles, the Qibla is 24 degrees from true north, measured as a great circle to the Kaaba. A phone compass reads magnetic north, which differs from true north by a few degrees in most places, so treat a compass reading as close rather than exact.

How these times are calculated

These use the ISNA convention, 15 degrees for both Fajr and Isha. It is the standard most mosques in United States follow, and the shallower angle produces noticeably later Fajr and earlier Isha than the European standards at the same latitude.

Across the year

In Los Angeles Fajr ranges from 04:17 at the height of summer to 05:59 in deep winter, a spread of about 102 minutes. The shift is gradual, a minute or so every few days, which is why a monthly table is more useful than a single day's figures.
