Chokurdakh prayer times overview
The Chokurdakh page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
The Chokurdakh prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 8 часов ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Chokurdakh coordinates: 70.6183°N and 147.8969°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
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. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
The daytime interval in Chokurdakh today is 20 часов 17 минут — from sunrise at 03:04 to Maghrib at 23:21. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
2 часа 43 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 23:21 and the morning Fajr at 02:04. For Chokurdakh this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Chokurdakh, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
For Chokurdakh the high-latitude adjustment is important: during a very long day or a short night, the usual astronomical calculation may need correction.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Chokurdakh: Fajr — 02:04, Maghrib — 23:21 and Isha — 00:17. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Chokurdakh 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 02:04: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 03:04: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 13:14: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 19:03: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 23:21: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 00:17: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Chokurdakh
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.
The prayer schedule in Chokurdakh 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 (02:04) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (23:21) 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.
In Chokurdakh, due to the high geographic latitude, peculiar astronomical conditions arise. In summer the sun does not set deep below the horizon, the night is very short or bright, and in some periods true twilight may not occur at all. In winter, on the contrary, the day is extremely short. Under such conditions, the usual astronomical calculation of the Fajr and Isha times becomes difficult, so a special adjustment method recommended for high latitudes is applied.
