Avtovo prayer times overview
The Avtovo page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
The Avtovo prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Avtovo the coordinates 59.8717°N and 30.2658°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
The prayer schedule does not depend only on the region's official time. It is affected by the sun's altitude above the horizon, so in neighbouring cities the Fajr, Dhuhr and Maghrib values may differ. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
According to today's schedule for Avtovo, the sun rises at 04:52, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:16. 16 часов 24 минуты passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Avtovo the period from Maghrib (21:16) to Fajr (02:51) lasts 5 часов 35 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Avtovo there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Avtovo there may be white nights at the beginning of summer: twilight does not always pass into full darkness. For this reason the interval between Maghrib, Isha and Fajr shortens.
If you plan your day around the Avtovo prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:51 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:16 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:10 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Avtovo are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Avtovo
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
We update the schedule in Avtovo daily. The sun does not rise at the same time from day to day: the daylight length gradually increases from winter to summer and shortens from summer to winter. For this reason the Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha times shift slightly every day. The most noticeable changes occur in spring and autumn, so a daily check with the schedule is the best practice.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:51) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:16): the fast can be broken as soon as the sun sets below the horizon. Since prayer times shift daily during Ramadan, we recommend checking the schedule daily so as not to be off even by a minute.
The location of Avtovo at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
