Pozhva prayer times overview
The Pozhva 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 Pozhva prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
For Pozhva the coordinates 59.0912°N and 56.0901°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
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. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Pozhva 16 часов 16 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:13, while the evening prayer begins at 21:29. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 40 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:29 and the morning Fajr at 03:09. For Pozhva 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 Pozhva there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Pozhva differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.

Questions about prayer times in Pozhva
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 Pozhva 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (03:09) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:29) — at sunset. Keep in mind: these values shift daily throughout Ramadan, so it is advisable to determine the current time according to the new schedule every morning and evening.
In Pozhva, due to the high geographic latitude, peculiar astronomical conditions arise. In summer the sun does not set deep below the horizon, the night is very short or bright, and in some periods true twilight may not occur at all. In winter, on the contrary, the day is extremely short. Under such conditions, the usual astronomical calculation of the Fajr and Isha times becomes difficult, so a special adjustment method recommended for high latitudes is applied.
