Kholmsk prayer times overview
For Kholmsk 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.
Local time in Kholmsk is 8 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Kholmsk coordinates: 47.0461°N and 142.0494°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
Today in Kholmsk 14 часов 39 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:18, while the evening prayer begins at 20:57. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
7 часов 30 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:57 and the morning Fajr at 04:27. For Kholmsk this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Kholmsk the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
If you plan your day around the Kholmsk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:27 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:57 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:39 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Kholmsk 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 Kholmsk
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 Kholmsk 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 (04:27) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:57): 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.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Kholmsk it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
