Boksitogorsk prayer times overview
The Boksitogorsk prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time is applied for Boksitogorsk: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Boksitogorsk geographic location is 59.4778°N, 33.8501°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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.
Today in Boksitogorsk 16 часов 20 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:40, while the evening prayer begins at 21:00. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Boksitogorsk begins after Maghrib at 21:00 and lasts until Fajr at 02:37. 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 Boksitogorsk there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Boksitogorsk differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
If you plan your day around the Boksitogorsk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:37 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:00 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:55 the start of the night prayer.
The Boksitogorsk prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

Questions about prayer times in Boksitogorsk
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.
We update the schedule in Boksitogorsk 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:37) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:00) 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.
The location of Boksitogorsk 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.
