Fajr arrives later in Anchorage than in almost any other major city right now, at about 17:00 local time.
Why Does Fajr Come So Late in These Cities?
In a city's winter, dawn comes late, so Fajr falls later on the clock. A city's position within its time zone matters too: those far to the east of their zone's meridian, or using a single nationwide zone, can see surprisingly late dawn prayers. These times are recomputed daily from each city's location.
