About these prayer times
Times are calculated for Colchester (51.890, 0.899) using astronomical formulas. By default we use the Muslim World League method (Fajr 18°, Isha 17°) and the standard Asr, which you can change above — Hanafis should choose Hanafi Asr, which is later. In the UK summer, the sky never gets fully dark, so Fajr and Isha use the widely used "angle-based" rule for high latitudes.
Your local mosque may use a slightly different timetable, especially for Fajr and Isha in summer and for Jumu'ah (Friday prayer) times. When in doubt, follow your mosque.
