Oryol prayer times overview
The Oryol 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 Oryol is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Oryol coordinates: 52.9696°N and 36.0639°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
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 the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Oryol 15 часов 19 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:02, while the evening prayer begins at 20:21. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
6 часов 22 минуты passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 20:21 and the morning Fajr at 02:43. For Oryol this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Oryol the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
If you plan your day around the Oryol prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:43 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:21 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:31 the start of the night prayer.
Prayer times for Oryol are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.

Questions about prayer times in Oryol
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 Oryol 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:43) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:21): 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 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 Oryol according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
