Nakhodka prayer times overview
The Nakhodka prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Nakhodka is 7 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Nakhodka coordinates: 42.8247°N and 132.8931°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
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 southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Nakhodka today is 14 часов 16 минут — from sunrise at 06:06 to Maghrib at 20:22. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Nakhodka 8 часов 5 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:22, while Fajr begins at 04:27. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In summer in Nakhodka the day lengthens, but the differences are usually less sharp than in northern cities.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Nakhodka: Fajr — 04:27, Maghrib — 20:22 and Isha — 21:53. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.

Questions about prayer times in Nakhodka
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.
Prayer times in Nakhodka 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:27) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:22) 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.
This is not the most reliable approach. The more accurate the coordinates, the more accurate the prayer times, and in each city they are unique. Even a small shift in latitude or longitude changes the moment of sunrise and sunset, and therefore the prayer times as well. Therefore, for Nakhodka it is more correct to rely on an individual schedule drawn up for this city specifically; this is especially important during Ramadan, when the calculation is conducted literally in minutes.
