Seymchan prayer times overview
For Seymchan 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 Seymchan: the city's time zone is 8 часов ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Seymchan geographic location is 62.9324°N, 152.3943°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.
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.
The daytime interval in Seymchan today is 17 часов 1 minute — from sunrise at 04:25 to Maghrib at 21:26. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Seymchan the period from Maghrib (21:26) to Fajr (02:33) lasts 5 часов 7 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Seymchan there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Seymchan differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Seymchan: Fajr — 02:33, Maghrib — 21:26 and Isha — 23:11. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
Prayer times for Seymchan are determined according to the SAM RF method. The Hanafi madhhab is applied for Asr, while the calculation is based on the city's coordinates and the current date.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 02:33: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:25: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:56: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:26: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.
- Maghrib — 21:26: the evening prayer, and also a reference for iftar during Ramadan.
- Isha — 23:11: the night prayer.
Questions about prayer times in Seymchan
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.
The prayer schedule in Seymchan is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Yes, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:33) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (21:26) 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 Seymchan 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.
