Prayer Times in Jamaica, Queens
Prayer times for Jamaica are calculated for its position in New York City at roughly 40.7 degrees north latitude, in the America/New_York time zone, which observes daylight saving time. Because of this mid-northern latitude, there is a marked seasonal swing: summer days are long, pushing Fajr early and Isha late into the evening, while winter days are short, compressing the daytime prayers. The default calculation method shown here is that of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), widely used across the United States and Canada. When facing Mecca for prayer, the qibla from Jamaica points to a bearing of about 59 degrees, toward the north-east.
