Snezhnogorsk prayer times overview
For Snezhnogorsk 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.
Snezhnogorsk prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Snezhnogorsk the coordinates 69.1933°N and 33.2531°E are used. Latitude determines the seasonal length of the day, while longitude determines solar noon and the shift of the Dhuhr time. Such a latitude requires special attention when calculating Fajr and Isha during periods of very bright nights or 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. For high latitudes, special rules for adjusting the calculation are applied when necessary.
Today in Snezhnogorsk the sun rises at 03:08, while Maghrib begins at 22:35. Daylight lasts 19 часов 27 минут. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
The night interval in Snezhnogorsk begins after Maghrib at 22:35 and lasts until Fajr at 01:55. Its duration is 3 часа 20 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Snezhnogorsk, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
The high latitude of Snezhnogorsk affects the prayer schedule more strongly than in most cities of Russia. In summer and winter there may be peculiarities of the light regime here, so the Fajr and Isha times require especially careful checking.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Snezhnogorsk: Fajr — 01:55, Maghrib — 22:35 and Isha — 23:43. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The Snezhnogorsk prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

- Fajr — 01:55: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 03:08: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:53: the time of the midday prayer.
- Asr — 18:39: the afternoon prayer calculated according to the Hanafi madhhab.

Questions about prayer times in Snezhnogorsk
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.
Prayer times in Snezhnogorsk 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, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (01:55) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (22:35) 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.
Because Snezhnogorsk is located far from the equator, white nights or conditions close to them are observed here in summer, and a very short day in winter. Under such a position of the sun, the classical calculation of Fajr and Isha no longer gives a correct result: twilight may last all night. So that believers can perform the prayer with confidence, the high-latitude adjustment method recommended by Islamic calculation centres is applied.
