Because Merksem is located at a high latitude of 51.25° 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, Isha is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of May, the solar path in Merksem results in a shifting schedule. The Isha window is moving 1 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Merksem spans from sunset to dawn.
