Kotlas prayer times overview
The Kotlas prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Kotlas is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
For Kotlas the coordinates 61.2547°N and 46.6500°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.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
According to today's schedule for Kotlas, the sun rises at 03:38, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:19. 16 часов 41 minute passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 22 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:19 and the morning Fajr at 01:41. For Kotlas 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 Kotlas there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
Bright summer nights are typical for Kotlas. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.
If you plan your day around the Kotlas prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 01:41 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:19 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:09 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Kotlas, 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.

Questions about prayer times in Kotlas
Each city has its own geographic coordinates, and it is precisely by them that sunrise and sunset are calculated. Because the Earth rotates and its axis is tilted, prayer times at different points cannot coincide. Latitude determines the length of day and night, longitude determines the moment the sun passes certain positions, and the time zone brings the calculation to local time. The sum of these factors makes the schedule unique for each city.
The prayer schedule in Kotlas 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 (01:41) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:19): 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.
In Kotlas, 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.
