Begunitsy prayer times overview
The Begunitsy page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Begunitsy: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Begunitsy coordinates: 59.5855°N and 29.3176°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
According to today's schedule for Begunitsy, the sun rises at 04:58, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:18. 16 часов 20 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Begunitsy begins after Maghrib at 21:18 and lasts until Fajr at 02:55. Its duration is 5 часов 37 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Begunitsy there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Begunitsy differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.

Questions about prayer times in Begunitsy
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
The prayer schedule in Begunitsy is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:55) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:18) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
Because Begunitsy is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
