{highlat}

int

optional

In locations at higher latitude, twilight may persist throughout the night during some months of the year. In these abnormal periods, the determination of Fajr and Isha is not possible using the usual formulas mentioned in the previous section. To overcome this problem, several solutions have been proposed, three of which are described below.
https://api.pray.zone/v2/times/today.json?city=mecca&highlat=2

School name	School id	Description
None (default)	0	No adjustment
Midnight	1	The period from sunset to sunrise is divided into two halves. The first half is considered to be the "night" and the other half as "day break". Fajr and Isha in this method are assumed to be at mid-night during the abnormal periods.
One-Seventh of the Night	2	The period between sunset and sunrise is divided into seven parts. Isha begins after the first one-seventh part, and Fajr is at the beginning of the seventh part.
Angle Based	3	This is an intermediate solution, used by some recent prayer time calculators. Let a be the twilight angle for Isha, and let t = a/60. The period between sunset and sunrise is divided into t parts. Isha begins after the first part. For example, if the twilight angle for Isha is 15, then Isha begins at the end of the first quarter (15/60) of the night. Time for Fajr is calculated similarly.
