Pitkyaranta prayer times overview
The Pitkyaranta page shows prayer times calculated taking into account local time and geographic location. This is especially important for Fajr, Maghrib and Isha.
Pitkyaranta 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.
Pitkyaranta geographic location is 61.5739°N, 31.4789°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Pitkyaranta the sun rises at 04:36, while Maghrib begins at 21:22. Daylight lasts 16 часов 46 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 19 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:22 and the morning Fajr at 02:41. For Pitkyaranta this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Pitkyaranta there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
In Pitkyaranta there may be white nights at the beginning of summer: twilight does not always pass into full darkness. For this reason the interval between Maghrib, Isha and Fajr shortens.
When preparing for prayer in Pitkyaranta, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:41), Maghrib (21:22) and Isha (23:11) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Pitkyaranta prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 02:41: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.

Questions about prayer times in Pitkyaranta
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 Pitkyaranta 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:41) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:22): 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.
The location of Pitkyaranta 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.
