Because Southsea is located at a high latitude of 50.78° 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, Asr is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of April, the solar path in Southsea results in a shifting schedule. The Asr window is moving 1 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Southsea spans from sunset to dawn. Islamic Midnight is at 23:52, while the 'Last Third' of the night—the ideal time for Tahajjud—starts at 01:05.
