About prayer times in Istanbul

In Türkiye prayer times are set nationally by the Presidency of Religious Affairs (Diyanet), and the calls to prayer from Istanbul's mosques follow its published times. Diyanet's timetable adds temkin — a few precautionary minutes on some prayers to account for the city's spread and elevation — which is why a generic app set to an angle alone can be a minute or two off the ezan.

The times here use the Diyanet method, with the Umm al-Qura result alongside for comparison, since that is the default in a number of international apps. Istanbul's summer days are long enough that the gap between conventions is noticeable at Fajr, but the city never loses true night, so no fallback rule applies.

Questions

What time is Fajr in Istanbul?
It moves through the year: in 2027 the earliest Fajr is 03:24 on 14 June and the latest 06:51 on 4 January, by the Diyanet, Turkey method. Today's time is at the top of this page.
How long is the longest fast in Istanbul?
From Fajr to Maghrib, 17 h 23 min around 21 June, against 11 h 00 min around 17 December. Ramadan moves about eleven days earlier each year, so which of those it falls nearer changes over time.
Which direction is the qibla from Istanbul?
152° from true north, along the great circle to the Kaaba, 2,405 km away.
Why does my app show different times for Istanbul?
Apps choose different calculation methods. At the June solstice the Umm al-Qura method puts Fajr at 03:19, against 03:24 here — 5 minutes apart. Dhuhr, Asr and Maghrib barely move between methods; Fajr and Isha are where they part.
