Sankranti in Manchester: questions

+ How many Sankranti days are there in 2031 in Manchester?
12, computed for Manchester's coordinates and the Europe/London time zone. The first falls on Tue, Jan 14 and the last on Tue, Dec 16.
+ Are Manchester Sankranti dates the same as in India?
The ingress is one instant worldwide, but the local calendar date can differ. Of the 12 sankrantis listed, 10 share the Indian date in Manchester and 2 fall a day earlier.
+ How is the date decided?
This calendar uses the local date and time of the computed sidereal ingress. No entry this year needed a flag. Local temples may follow a particular sampradaya's rule, so check with them for ritual purposes.
+ How accurate are these times?
Times come from truncated astronomical series and should fall within a few minutes of a full ephemeris. Near a boundary a published panchanga may assign a different day. They are for planning practice, not for precise ritual muhurta.
