Novaya Balakhna prayer times overview
For Novaya Balakhna 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.
Novaya Balakhna prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Novaya Balakhna coordinates: 56.4899°N and 43.6011°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.

Questions about prayer times in Novaya Balakhna
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 Novaya Balakhna 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 (02:06) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:05) 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 Novaya Balakhna 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.
