Asr in Leicester through 2026
Today's 2:04 PM is 31 min after the earliest of 2026 (6 December) and 3 h 29 min before the latest (30 June), and it moves 10 min earlier over the next week.
The gap between Shafi‘i and Hanafi Asr in Leicester is widest on 12 June (1 h 15 min) and narrowest on 18 December (28 min).
The Asr window, until sunset, is longest on 24 June (4 h 4 min) and shortest on 1 January (2 h 18 min). Clocks in Leicester change on 29 March and 25 October, so Asr jumps by an hour on those days.
About Asr
Asr (العصر), the afternoon prayer, starts once a shadow exceeds its noon length by the object's height, or twice that for Hanafis, and lasts until sunset; four rak‘ahs.
