Shimanovsk prayer times overview
For Shimanovsk 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 Shimanovsk: the city's time zone is 6 часов ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Shimanovsk coordinates: 52.0032°N and 127.6762°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.
According to today's schedule for Shimanovsk, the sun rises at 05:00, while the Maghrib time begins at 20:10. 15 часов 10 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Shimanovsk the period from Maghrib (20:10) to Fajr (02:44) lasts 6 часов 34 минуты. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Shimanovsk the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
When preparing for prayer in Shimanovsk, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:44), Maghrib (20:10) and Isha (22:13) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Shimanovsk
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 Shimanovsk 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 (02:44) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:10): 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.
It is not recommended. The prayer schedule is sensitive to geography: even a difference of tens of kilometres leads to a discrepancy in the Fajr, Maghrib and Isha times. The sun rises and sets at its own moment above each locality, so the data of a neighbouring city is only approximate. To perform the prayer on time, it is advisable to use the schedule calculated for Shimanovsk according to its coordinates specifically, not the nearest centre's.
