Sunrise, sunset, and the eight daylight segments that define Rahu Kaal and Choghadiya are computed for Birmingham at 52.49°N, 1.85°W in Europe/London, so clock times differ from cities on another meridian or latitude even when the calendar date matches.
Tithi and other limbs are named for local sunrise, so a place with an earlier or later sun can show a different limb than a city hundreds of kilometres away on the same civil morning.
Local guide for Birmingham
Local time zone
Birmingham sits near 52.49N 1.85W in United Kingdom under Europe/London. Birmingham uses Europe/London with GMT at UTC+0 in winter and BST at UTC+1 in summer, with clocks usually moving forward on the last Sunday of March and back on the last Sunday of October. Nearest catalogue cities for comparison are Nottingham, Milton Keynes, Manchester; each keeps its own sunrise even when the timezone name matches Europe/London. Engine mid-month samples for 2026 put day length between 7 h 42 min and 16 h 49 min at these coordinates.
Sunrise, sunset and the Panchang
For Birmingham, sunrise on the 2026 mid-month samples runs from about 4:43 AM to about 8:11 AM on the local clock. At 52.49 degrees north, the longest sampled day (16 h 49 min) falls near June and July, while the shortest (7 h 42 min) falls near December and January. Sunset follows from that day length, so a 16 h 49 min day stretches every daylight fraction and a 7 h 42 min day compresses them. When Europe/London flips for daylight saving in Birmingham, rebuild Panchang labels from the new sunrise rather than shifting an old sheet by one hour. Do not paste IST sunrise from Delhi onto Birmingham; convert through Europe/London and 52.49N 1.85W.

Rahu Kaal in this city
Rahu Kaal is one eighth of local daytime from sunrise to sunset. In Birmingham during 2026, that block samples from about 0 h 58 min on short days to about 2 h 6 min on long days. The weekday that carries Rahu Kaal in Birmingham stays the same rule set, but the civil clock span widens when daytime reaches 16 h 49 min. Derive the interval from Birmingham sunrise and sunset under Europe/London, not from a printed sheet for another metro.
Choghadiya windows here
Choghadiya splits day (sunrise to sunset) and night (sunset to next sunrise) into eight quality watches. On a 16 h 49 min sample in Birmingham, day watches lengthen and night watches shrink; on a 7 h 42 min sample the reverse holds. Because Birmingham is in the northern hemisphere, a June daylight sheet runs longer than a December sheet. Prefer Labh, Amrit, or Shubh for starts in Birmingham; treat Kaal and Rog as poor launch windows on the local clock.
How to use today
Open the Birmingham Panchang page with timezone Europe/London and confirm sunrise, sunset, dawn Tithi, Rahu Kaal, and Abhijit Muhurta for the civil date you care about. Expect sunrise between about 4:43 AM and 8:11 AM across the 2026 mid-month samples, with Rahu Kaal near 0 h 58 min to 2 h 6 min. After the March or autumn clock change for United Kingdom, refresh the page before booking. Festival leaflets that quote Delhi IST still need a fresh Birmingham sunrise for the same lunar day.49N 1.85W.

The names of the day are those limbs at local sunrise. Sunrise, moonrise, and the electional windows all belong to the place you enter, which is why a Panchang changes from city to city.
