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.
Nakhodka prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 7 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Nakhodka the coordinates 42.8436°N and 132.9183°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. For southern latitudes, the seasonal changes in day and night length are more moderate.
Nakhodka prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In southern cities, differences are often noticeable in sunrise, Dhuhr and Maghrib times.
The daytime interval in Nakhodka today is 14 часов 20 минут — from sunrise at 06:04 to Maghrib at 20:24. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Nakhodka 8 часов 1 minute passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 20:24, while Fajr begins at 04:25. 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.
If you plan your day around the Nakhodka prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 04:25 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:24 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 21:55 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Nakhodka, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Nakhodka
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.
The prayer schedule in Nakhodka is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (04:25) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:24) 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.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Nakhodka according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
