When does the last third of the night begin in Kuwait City?

It begins two-thirds of the way from Maghrib to the next Fajr, so it moves with the length of the night. In Kuwait City it falls between 00:18 and 01:15 local time across the 13 months this page covers, and Islamic midnight falls between 22:48 and 23:19. The month tables give both for every night.

Which calculation method is used for Kuwait City?

These times use the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method, which is the convention in this region. You can change the method on the prayer times page.

Why do prayer times differ between websites?

Nearly all of the difference comes from the angle each authority uses for Fajr and Isha. These times use the Egyptian General Authority of Survey method. In Kuwait City that matters by a measurable amount: a site using the ISNA method gives a Fajr 21 to 27 minutes later, and one using the Muslim World League method gives one 7 to 9 minutes later. A few minutes of variation between sources is normal; a difference of this size means a different method, not an error.

Are these times exact?

They are computed astronomically for 29.3759°, 47.9774° and are accurate to the minute at that point. The sun crosses 15° of longitude an hour, so moving 10 km east or west inside Kuwait City shifts every time by about 25 seconds — one timetable therefore holds across the whole city. Local altitude has a smaller effect, on sunrise and sunset.
