Yam prayer times overview
The Yam prayer schedule is calculated based on the city's local data, so it may differ from neighbouring localities even within the same time zone.
Yam 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.
Yam geographic location is 55.4879°N, 37.7446°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. At such a latitude, the seasonal difference between the summer and winter prayer schedules is felt more strongly.
Even if two cities are in the same time zone, prayer times may differ due to latitude and longitude. In northern cities, the difference between the summer and winter schedules is usually stronger.
Today in Yam 15 часов 39 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 04:45, while the evening prayer begins at 20:24. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Yam the period from Maghrib (20:24) to Fajr (02:31) lasts 6 часов 7 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In summer in Yam the day is long, so Maghrib may begin late, while the interval between Isha and Fajr may shorten.

Questions about prayer times in Yam
Prayer times are determined by the sun's altitude above the horizon, which is unique for every geographic point. The calculation is affected by latitude, longitude and the established time zone. For this reason, even cities located in the same region have different values for Fajr, Sunrise, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha. The more a city is shifted to the north or south, the more the daylight length, and with it the prayer moments, differ.
We update the schedule in Yam 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, the schedule is suitable for determining the suhur and iftar times. The Fajr time (02:31) serves as a reference for ending the pre-dawn meal: suhur must be completed before it begins. The Maghrib time (20:24) indicates the moment of iftar — the fast is broken precisely at sunset. Nevertheless, during the blessed month of Ramadan we advise checking the current values daily, since a difference of just a few minutes can be important while fasting.
It is better not to do this. Prayer times are calculated based on exact geographic coordinates, and even a relatively small distance between localities can shift the prayer moments by several minutes. The sunrise and sunset to which Fajr and Maghrib are tied occur at their own time at every point. Therefore, for believers in Yam it is more correct to rely on a separate schedule calculated according to this city's coordinates specifically, especially when determining suhur and iftar during Ramadan.
