Cherepovets prayer times overview
For Cherepovets 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 Cherepovets 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 Cherepovets the coordinates 59.1296°N and 37.9093°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 Cherepovets, the sun rises at 04:26, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:42. 16 часов 16 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Cherepovets the period from Maghrib (20:42) to Fajr (02:22) lasts 5 часов 40 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Cherepovets there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Cherepovets differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
If you plan your day around the Cherepovets prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:22 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:42 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:38 the start of the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Cherepovets
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.
Prayer times in Cherepovets are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:22) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:42): 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 Cherepovets 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.
