Pychas prayer times overview
For Pychas it is important to use precisely the city's prayer schedule: prayer times depend not only on the clock, but also on latitude, longitude and the position of the sun.
Local time is applied for Pychas: the city's time zone is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Pychas coordinates: 56.5033°N and 52.4409°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local time. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Pychas prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
The daytime interval in Pychas today is 15 часов 49 минут — from sunrise at 04:41 to Maghrib at 20:30. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Pychas begins after Maghrib at 20:30 and lasts until Fajr at 02:30. Its duration is 6 часов. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Pychas the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.
If you plan your day around the Pychas prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:30 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 20:30 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 22:33 the start of the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Pychas, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 02:30: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:41: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:36: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 17:56: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 20:30: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 22:33: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Pychas
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.
We update the schedule in Pychas 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.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:30) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:30) 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.
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 Pychas 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.
