Prayer times in Houston

Houston shares a timezone with Chicago but sits twelve degrees further south, so its summer days are markedly shorter and its winter days longer. Same clock, different sky — which is why one national timetable never works.

Why timetables disagree

Fajr and Isha depend on how far the sun sits below the horizon, and different authorities settled on different angles. A few minutes of variation between two timetables for Houston is normal rather than an error — it usually means they use different parameters, not that one is wrong. Mozzi defaults to ISNA here and lets you change it.

Across the year, Fajr in Houston ranges from about 05:03 at its earliest to 06:26 at its latest. That spread is the single biggest reason a printed timetable goes stale.

Asr, and the two calculations

Asr is the one prayer where the difference is large rather than marginal. The Hanafi calculation places it noticeably later than the Shafiʿi, Maliki and Hanbali one — in Houston today, about 57 minutes later. If Asr looks wrong to you and everything else looks right, that setting is almost always the reason.

Getting the adhan in Houston

Mozzi plays a real call to prayer at each time rather than a notification chime, and on iOS 26 it can sound through Silent mode and Focus the way an alarm does. Times are calculated on your phone, so it keeps working with no signal.
