Kurchum prayer times overview
The Kurchum page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Local time is applied for Kurchum: the city's time zone is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Kurchum geographic location is 48.5660°N, 83.6615°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp 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. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
The daytime interval in Kurchum today is 14 часов 50 минут — from sunrise at 04:06 to Maghrib at 18:56. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Kurchum 7 часов 12 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 18:56, while Fajr begins at 02:08. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Kurchum the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
If you plan your day around the Kurchum prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:08 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 18:56 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 20:44 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Kurchum, 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 Kurchum
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 Kurchum 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 (02:08) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (18:56) 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.
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 Kurchum 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.
