Because Balham is located at a high latitude of 51.45° N, it encounters the 'Persistent Twilight' phenomenon during the summer.

During the month of April, the solar path in Balham results in a shifting schedule. The Asr window is moving 1 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Balham spans from sunset to dawn.
