Vitim prayer times overview
The Vitim prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Vitim prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is 6 часов ahead of Moscow time. For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
For Vitim the coordinates 59.4433°N and 112.5699°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.
Vitim prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. During the period of bright nights, it is especially important to monitor the Fajr and Isha times carefully.
Today in Vitim the sun rises at 05:27, while Maghrib begins at 21:43. Daylight lasts 16 часов 16 минут. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
5 часов 40 минут passes between the evening Maghrib prayer at 21:43 and the morning Fajr at 03:23. For Vitim 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 Vitim there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
The summer light regime in Vitim differs from southern cities: the night shortens, and this directly affects the night and morning prayer times.
When preparing for prayer in Vitim, it is convenient to check Fajr (03:23), Maghrib (21:43) and Isha (23:39) 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 Vitim, 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 Vitim
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.
We update the schedule in Vitim 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.
Yes, this schedule is also designed for those who fast. Suhur must be completed before Fajr (03:23) begins, which marks the start of the morning prayer time. Iftar begins from the moment of Maghrib (21:43) — 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 Vitim 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.
