Yelkhovka prayer times overview
For Yelkhovka 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 Yelkhovka prayer schedule is calculated according to the city's time zone: it is 1 hour ahead of Moscow time. Even with the same date, prayer times may differ from other regions.
Yelkhovka geographic location is 53.8669°N, 50.2844°E. These coordinates are important for calculating prayer times, since prayers are tied to the movement of the sun. In this latitude zone, the day length changes noticeably throughout the year, but without sharp polar phenomena.
Yelkhovka prayer times should be compared with another city carefully: a small difference in coordinates can change the start of a prayer by several minutes. In the mid-latitude zone, the seasonal shifts of Fajr and Maghrib are especially noticeable.
Today in Yelkhovka 15 часов 27 минут passes from sunrise to Maghrib: the sun rises at 05:01, while the evening prayer begins at 20:28. Right now the day is long, so Maghrib begins later, while the night interval shortens.
In Yelkhovka the period from Maghrib (20:28) to Fajr (02:44) lasts 6 часов 16 минут. The night interval is relatively short, so it is convenient to plan Isha and suhur in advance.
In the summer season in Yelkhovka the evening prayer begins later, while the night interval shortens.
When preparing for prayer in Yelkhovka, it is convenient to check Fajr (02:44), Maghrib (20:28) and Isha (22:36) 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 Yelkhovka, 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 Yelkhovka
The prayer schedule directly depends on three factors: geographic latitude, longitude and the time zone. The sun rises and sets at its own time at every point on the globe, so the moments of Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha inevitably differ even between closely located localities. The greater the difference in latitude, the more noticeable the difference in the morning and evening prayer times. This is precisely why the schedule is drawn up to match the coordinates of each city.
The prayer schedule in Yelkhovka 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 (02:44) as a reference — the pre-dawn meal must be completed before it begins. The start of iftar coincides with the Maghrib time (20:28): 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.
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 Yelkhovka 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.
