Sovetskiy prayer times overview
The Sovetskiy prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Local time in Sovetskiy is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
For Sovetskiy the coordinates 60.5395°N and 28.6776°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.
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.
Today in Sovetskiy the sun rises at 04:54, while Maghrib begins at 21:27. Daylight lasts 16 часов 33 минуты. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Sovetskiy 5 часов 28 минут passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 21:27, while Fajr begins at 02:55. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Sovetskiy there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Sovetskiy differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.

Questions about prayer times in Sovetskiy
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.
We update the schedule in Sovetskiy 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 (02:55) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:27): 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.
In Sovetskiy, 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.
