Magadan prayer times overview
For Magadan 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.
The Magadan prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 8 часов ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Magadan geographic location is 59.5682°N, 150.8085°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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.
Today in Magadan 16 часов 18 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:53, while the evening prayer begins at 21:11. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Magadan begins after Maghrib at 21:11 and lasts until Fajr at 02:50. Its duration is 5 часов 39 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Magadan there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Magadan differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Magadan: Fajr — 02:50, Maghrib — 21:11 and Isha — 23:06. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Magadan are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Magadan
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.
Prayer times in Magadan are updated daily. This is related to the constant shifting of the sunrise and sunset moments following the Earth's orbit around the sun. The changes are especially noticeable during the transitional seasons — spring and autumn — when the day length changes fastest, sometimes by several minutes per day. For the schedule to remain accurate, it should be checked daily, not once a week.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:50) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:11): 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 Magadan 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.
