Staraya prayer times overview
For Staraya 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 Staraya: the city's time zone is Same as Moscow time (MSK). This affects all prayers — from the morning Fajr to the night Isha.
Staraya coordinates: 59.9275°N and 30.6277°E. Latitude affects the length of day and night, while longitude affects the actual position of the sun relative to local 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 Staraya 12 часов 1 minute passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 06:48, while the evening prayer begins at 18:49. This is a moderate day length without sharp seasonal deviations.
In Staraya 9 часов 54 минуты passes from Maghrib to Fajr today: Maghrib begins at 18:49, while Fajr begins at 04:43. This is a convenient night length for Isha, performing Witr and preparing for Fajr.
In autumn in Staraya the period of bright nights recedes, while the night interval between Maghrib and Fajr gradually lengthens.
Bright summer nights are typical for Staraya. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.
Three times are especially important for daily practice in Staraya: Fajr — 04:43, Maghrib — 18:49 and Isha — 20:45. They help to correctly distribute morning, evening and night activities.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Staraya, while the Asr time is determined according to the Hanafi madhhab. This allows the schedule to be used as a daily reference for the obligatory prayers.

Questions about prayer times in Staraya
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.
Prayer times in Staraya 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.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (04:43) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (18:49): 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 Staraya, 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.
