Vologda prayer times overview
For Vologda 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.
Vologda prayer times are tied to the local time zone, which is Same as Moscow time (MSK). For this reason, the prayer schedule here cannot be directly compared with Moscow time.
Vologda geographic location is 59.2181°N, 39.8886°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. This latitude is close to the white nights zone, so in summer the interval between Maghrib and Fajr may shrink considerably.
Vologda 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 Vologda 16 часов 17 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:17, while the evening prayer begins at 20:34. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
The night interval in Vologda begins after Maghrib at 20:34 and lasts until Fajr at 02:14. Its duration is 5 часов 40 минут. The night is very short, so the time for Isha, Witr and suhur is limited.
In summer in Vologda there may be very bright nights: for this reason the Isha and Fajr times require special attention.
Bright summer nights are typical for Vologda. During this period Isha may begin late, while Fajr may be early, so it is advisable to check the schedule daily.
When preparing for prayer in Vologda, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:14), Maghrib (20:34) and Isha (22:30) in advance. These times are often used as references for the start of the day, iftar and the night prayer.
The Vologda 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.
Today's key reference points
- Fajr — 02:14: the start of the morning prayer time and an important reference for ending suhur.
- Sunrise — 04:17: after sunrise the Fajr time ends.
- Dhuhr — 12:26: the time of the midday prayer.

Questions about prayer times in Vologda
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 Vologda 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 (02:14) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:34): 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 Vologda, 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.
