Kronstadt prayer times overview
For Kronstadt 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 Kronstadt 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 Kronstadt the coordinates 59.9920°N and 29.7762°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.
The daytime interval in Kronstadt today is 16 часов 26 минут — from sunrise at 04:53 to Maghrib at 21:19. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Kronstadt begins after Maghrib at 21:19 and lasts until Fajr at 02:52. Its duration is 5 часов 33 минуты. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Kronstadt there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Kronstadt there may be white nights at the beginning of summer: twilight does not always pass into full darkness. For this reason the interval between Maghrib, Isha and Fajr shortens.
If you plan your day around the Kronstadt prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:52 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 21:19 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:13 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Kronstadt, 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 Kronstadt
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.
The prayer schedule in Kronstadt 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 (02:52) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:19): 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.
Because Kronstadt 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.
