Fajr is the dawn prayer, performed from the moment the first light appears in the sky until just before sunrise. It is the start of the spiritual day in Swansea.

Because Swansea is located at a high latitude of 51.62° 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, Fajr is calculated using the 'Nearest Latitude' or 'One-Seventh' rule. During the month of August, the solar path in Swansea results in a shifting schedule. The Fajr window is moving 3 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Swansea spans from sunset to dawn.
