Pokrovskoye prayer times overview
The Pokrovskoye prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
The Pokrovskoye prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Pokrovskoye coordinates: 52.6067°N and 36.8675°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 Pokrovskoye 15 часов 16 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:00, while the evening prayer begins at 20:16. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Pokrovskoye the period from Maghrib (20:16) to Fajr (02:40) lasts 6 часов 24 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Pokrovskoye the daylight length increases: this is especially noticeable for the early Fajr and late Maghrib.

Questions about prayer times in Pokrovskoye
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 Pokrovskoye 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:40) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:16): 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.
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 Pokrovskoye 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.
