Because Canterbury is located at a high latitude of 51.28° N, it encounters the 'Persistent Twilight' phenomenon during the summer. At this latitude, the sun does not descend far enough (18 degrees) below the horizon. Consequently, Maghrib is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of April, the solar path in Canterbury results in a shifting schedule. The Maghrib window is moving 2 minute(s) later by tomorrow.
