When the sun crosses the qibla line through the year
The 15th of each month, local time. At times marked ★ the sun is opposite the qibla, so the shadow points to it; otherwise the sun itself stands in the qibla direction. “—” means the sun does not cross the qibla line high enough that month.

At this latitude the sun never reaches the Fajr depression angle on 93 days, between May 6 and August 6. On those days Fajr and Isha are set by the twilight rule rather than by angle — that is why the summer times look unusual.
