Verkhniye Osel'ki prayer times overview
For Verkhniye Osel'ki 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.
The Verkhniye Osel'ki prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is Same as Moscow time (MSK). Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Verkhniye Osel'ki coordinates: 60.2495°N and 30.4494°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.
According to today's schedule for Verkhniye Osel'ki, the sun rises at 04:49, while the Maghrib time begins at 21:18. 16 часов 29 минут passes between these events. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Verkhniye Osel'ki the period from Maghrib (21:18) to Fajr (02:49) lasts 5 часов 31 minute. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Verkhniye Osel'ki there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Verkhniye Osel'ki differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.

Questions about prayer times in Verkhniye Osel'ki
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.
The prayer schedule in Verkhniye Osel'ki is recalculated daily, because the position of the sun changes throughout the year. The daylight length gradually increases in spring and shortens in autumn, so the Fajr and Maghrib times shift literally every day. The fastest changes occur during the spring and autumn equinoxes. Therefore, we recommend checking with the current data daily.
Of course. To end suhur, use the Fajr time (02:49) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (21:18): 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 Verkhniye Osel'ki 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.
