Prayer times in Kampala

Sunrise to sunset in Kampala takes 12 h 6 min today, compared with 12 h 9 min at the June solstice side of the year and 12 h 7 min at the other end.

If you set an alarm for Fajr, October needs it between 5:19 am and 5:27 am in Kampala. Maghrib comes between 6:36 pm and 6:43 pm.

The Fajr window today is 70 minutes long: it opens at dawn and closes at sunrise (6:31 am), so the last moment for Fajr is just before 6:31 am.

Between Asr at 3:51 pm and Maghrib at 6:37 pm lies the afternoon window. Those who pray the Hanafi Asr start at 4:54 pm.

Isha follows Maghrib by 66 minutes today. The night, counted from Maghrib to Fajr, reaches its Islamic midnight at 11:59 pm, and its last third, the time many keep for Tahajjud, begins at 1:46 am.

October brings Fajr 8 min earlier by the end of the month. For Jumu'ah on 23 October, Dhuhr starts at 12:35 pm.

Sunrise is at 6:31 am. The voluntary Duha prayer starts around 6:51 am and ends shortly before Dhuhr.

A 241 km distance is enough to shift the times: Maghrib in Kampala is 8 min after Kakamega.

We print Kampala times in East Africa Time (UTC+03).

Makkah lies NNE of Kampala: bearing 18.1°, 2,475 km.

Times follow the Muslim World League method used by Muslim World League. Kampala sits about 1223 m above sea level; standard tables ignore elevation, and so do we, to match local mosques. Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin on 8 February 2027, in 109 days.
