Mel'nikovo prayer times overview
The Mel'nikovo prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Mel'nikovo prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 4 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Mel'nikovo coordinates: 56.5569°N and 84.0814°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
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 northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
According to today's schedule for Mel'nikovo, the sun rises at 05:34, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:24. 15 часов 50 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Mel'nikovo 5 часов 59 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:24, while Fajr begins at 03:23. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Mel'nikovo the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
When preparing for prayer in Mel'nikovo, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:23), Maghrib (21:24) and Isha (23:27) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Mel'nikovo
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 Mel'nikovo 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 (03:23) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:24): 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.
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 Mel'nikovo 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.
