Day length in Leicester through the year
Leicester lies at 52.64° N. The day is longest around 21 June (16h 52m) and shortest around 21 December (7h 38m), a wide range because the city is far from the equator, which stretches or shrinks Rahu Kaal and every other day-based muhurta.

Frequently asked questions
Why is Rahu Kaal at a different time each day in Leicester?
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the time between local sunrise and sunset, so it moves with the seasons. In Leicester it lasts about 2h 06m around the June solstice and 0h 57m around the December solstice.
Which time zone are these Leicester timings in?
All times are local Leicester time (Europe/London), which is 5.5 hours behind India (IST) in January. Leicester observes daylight saving time, and the timings switch automatically when the clocks change.
Are Hindu festival dates in Leicester the same as in India?
Not always. Over the next 12 months, 8 of the 35 major festivals listed here fall on a different date in Leicester than in New Delhi. Festival dates depend on the tithi at local sunrise, midday or midnight, so the local date is the correct one to observe in Leicester.
