Lesogorskiy prayer times overview
The Lesogorskiy 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 Lesogorskiy: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Lesogorskiy coordinates: 61.0455°N and 28.9294°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
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. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
The daytime interval in Lesogorskiy today is 16 часов 39 минут — from sunrise at 04:50 to Maghrib at 21:29. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 24 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:29 and the morning Fajr at 02:53. For Lesogorskiy 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 Lesogorskiy there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Lesogorskiy differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.

Questions about prayer times in Lesogorskiy
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.
We update the schedule in Lesogorskiy 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:53) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:29) 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.
The location of Lesogorskiy at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
