Lavrentiya prayer times overview
The Lavrentiya page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Lavrentiya prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 9 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Lavrentiya coordinates: 65.5830°N and 170.9966°W. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or polar phenomena.
Lavrentiya prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
Today in Lavrentiya 17 часов 40 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 02:39, while the evening prayer begins at 20:19. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Lavrentiya the period from Maghrib (20:19) to Fajr (00:57) lasts 4 часа 38 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Lavrentiya, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
The high latitude of Lavrentiya affects the prayer schedule more strongly than in most cities of Russia. In summer and winter there may be peculiarities of the light regime here, so the Fajr and Isha times require especially careful checking.
When preparing for prayer in Lavrentiya, it is convenient to check Fajr (00:57), Maghrib (20:19) and Isha (21:54) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Lavrentiya, 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 00:57: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 02:39: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 11:30: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:02: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:19: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 21:54: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Lavrentiya
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 Lavrentiya 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 (00:57) 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.
Because Lavrentiya 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.
