Gdov prayer times overview
For Gdov 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.
Gdov prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Gdov coordinates: 58.7444°N and 27.8196°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Gdov 16 часов 12 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:08, while the evening prayer begins at 21:20. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Gdov begins after Maghrib at 21:20 and lasts until Fajr at 03:03. Its duration is 5 часов 43 минуты. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Gdov the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
If you plan your day around the Gdov prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 03:03 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:20 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:17 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Gdov 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.

Questions about prayer times in Gdov
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 Gdov 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (03:03) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:20): 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.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Gdov it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
