Mshinskaya prayer times overview
For Mshinskaya 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.
Local time is applied for Mshinskaya: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Mshinskaya the coordinates 59.0150°N and 29.9433°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. 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.
According to today's schedule for Mshinskaya, the sun rises at 04:58, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:13. 16 часов 15 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Mshinskaya begins after Maghrib at 21:13 and lasts until Fajr at 02:54. Its duration is 5 часов 41 minute. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Mshinskaya there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Mshinskaya differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.

Questions about prayer times in Mshinskaya
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Mshinskaya 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 (02:54) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:13) 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 Mshinskaya 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.
