Verkhoyansk prayer times overview
The Verkhoyansk 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 Verkhoyansk is 7 часов 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.
Verkhoyansk geographic location is 67.5539°N, 133.3898°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 Verkhoyansk 18 часов 40 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 03:51, while the evening prayer begins at 22:31. This is a very long daylight day: it is especially important to monitor the Isha and Fajr times carefully.
3 часа 55 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 22:31 and the morning Fajr at 02:26. For Verkhoyansk this is an important reference for planning night prayers. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Verkhoyansk, due to the high latitude, a very long daylight day may be observed, while for some prayers a calculation adjustment is applied.
The high latitude of Verkhoyansk affects the prayer schedule more strongly than in most cities of Russia. In summer and winter there may be peculiarities of the light regime here, so the Fajr and Isha times require especially careful checking.
If you plan your day around the Verkhoyansk prayer schedule, pay attention first of all to Fajr, Maghrib and Isha. Fajr in 02:26 helps to define the morning reference, Maghrib in 22:31 the time of the evening prayer and iftar, and Isha in 23:51 the start of the night prayer.
The Verkhoyansk prayer schedule is calculated according to the method of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation (SAM RF), using the Hanafi madhhab to determine the Asr time. The data is updated daily and takes into account the city's exact geographic location.

Questions about prayer times in Verkhoyansk
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 Verkhoyansk 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.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (02:26) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (22:31) — 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.
The location of Verkhoyansk 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.
