Urengoy prayer times overview
For Urengoy 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 in Urengoy is 2 часа ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha are calculated based on this city's data specifically, not the country's average time.
Urengoy geographic location is 65.9655°N, 78.3693°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. 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 Urengoy 18 часов 1 minute passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 02:51, while the evening prayer begins at 20:52. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
The night interval in Urengoy begins after Maghrib at 20:52 and lasts until Fajr at 01:15. Its duration is 4 часа 23 минуты. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Urengoy, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
Urengoy is located in the high-latitude zone. During such periods, the astronomical calculation of some prayers may become difficult, so the adjustment recommended for northern regions is applied for Fajr and Isha.
When preparing for prayer in Urengoy, it is convenient to check Fajr (01:15), Maghrib (20:52) and Isha (22:22) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The SAM RF method is applied when calculating the schedule for Urengoy, 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 Urengoy
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 Urengoy 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 (01:15) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:52): 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.
The location of Urengoy at northern latitudes creates difficulty for the standard calculation. In the summer season the sun does not descend deep enough below the horizon, so the astronomical night becomes extremely short or entirely bright — the natural boundaries of Fajr and Isha cannot be determined in the usual way. Therefore, for such cities, a specially developed high-latitude adjustment is applied when setting the morning and night prayer times.
