Bulgunnyakhtakh prayer times overview
For Bulgunnyakhtakh it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
The Bulgunnyakhtakh prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 6 часов ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Bulgunnyakhtakh coordinates: 61.2996°N and 128.6508°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.
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 Bulgunnyakhtakh, the sun rises at 04:12, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:50. 16 часов 38 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Bulgunnyakhtakh begins after Maghrib at 20:50 and lasts until Fajr at 02:14. Its duration is 5 часов 24 минуты. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Bulgunnyakhtakh there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Bulgunnyakhtakh 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.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Bulgunnyakhtakh: Fajr — 02:14, Maghrib — 20:50 and Isha — 22:40. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Bulgunnyakhtakh, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.
Today's key reference points

Questions about prayer times in Bulgunnyakhtakh
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Bulgunnyakhtakh 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 (02:14) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:50): 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.
Because Bulgunnyakhtakh 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.
