Today's Salah Times in Bafoussam
Across the year Fajr in Bafoussam swings between 04:51 and 05:07 — today’s 04:55 is one point on that arc.
Egyptian General Authority
The Egyptian method places Fajr near 19.5°, producing earlier Fajr than 18° schemes — a small but visible shift on calendars in Bafoussam.
Suhoor Cutoff
During Ramadan, suhoor in Bafoussam must end before Fajr at 04:55 — set your alarm twenty-five minutes earlier to eat without rushing.
On Time vs Late
Praying Fajr at 04:55 in Bafoussam carries a different weight than praying it before sunrise — both valid, only one optimal.
Astronomical → Nautical → Civil
Fajr at 04:55 in Bafoussam marks the start of astronomical dawn; nautical and civil dawn follow before 06:05 brings the sun above the horizon.
Why Light Bends Before Sunrise
Atmospheric refraction lifts the sun’s image above the geometric horizon, lengthening dawn — your 70-minute window in Bafoussam already accounts for this.
When the First Adhan Rises
Across Bafoussam the first adhan crosses the rooftops at 04:55; from that minute the obligation is active until 06:05.
A Stricter Fajr Angle
Bafoussam uses an 18°-class angle — among the most cautious — pulling today’s Fajr at 04:55 a few minutes earlier than 15° schemes would.
High-Latitude Adjustment
For latitudes where dawn never fully arrives, the calendar applies a high-latitude rule — at 5.5°, Bafoussam’s Fajr at 04:55 reflects that adjustment when relevant.
