Coverage Across United Kingdom
The directory currently includes 10 cities in United Kingdom. Each city keeps its own coordinates and IANA time zone, so the clocks and solar calculations on the linked pages are tied to that location rather than copied from the capital.
Within this city set, Edinburgh is the furthest north and Bristol the furthest south, a latitude span of about 4.5°. That geographic separation is why day length, dawn and sunset can differ even when the civil clock is the same.
Belfast and London are the east-west extremes represented here, about 5.8° of longitude apart. Longitude changes when the sun reaches local noon and the horizon, so one sunrise, sunset or prayer timetable should not be reused for every city.
