Petrodvorets prayer times overview
The Petrodvorets 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 is applied for Petrodvorets: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Petrodvorets coordinates: 59.8957°N and 29.8015°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Petrodvorets prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Petrodvorets the sun rises at 04:54, while Maghrib begins at 21:18. Daylight lasts 16 часов 24 минуты. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Petrodvorets 5 часов 34 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:18, while Fajr begins at 02:52. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Petrodvorets there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Petrodvorets differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.

Questions about prayer times in Petrodvorets
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.
Prayer times in Petrodvorets 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 (02:52) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:18) 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 Petrodvorets 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.
