Sos'va prayer times overview
For Sos'va 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 Sos'va: the city's time zone is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
For Sos'va the coordinates 59.1766°N and 61.8558°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.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Sos'va the sun rises at 04:50, while Maghrib begins at 21:06. Daylight lasts 16 часов 16 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Sos'va begins after Maghrib at 21:06 and lasts until Fajr at 02:46. Its duration is 5 часов 40 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Sos'va there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
Bright summer nights are typical for Sos'va. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.

Questions about prayer times in Sos'va
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.
We update the schedule in Sos'va 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, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:46) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:06) — 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 Sos'va, 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.
