Prayer Times in Polevskoy, Russia

The prayer day in Polevskoy

There are around 9 hours and 10 minutes between sunrise and sunset in Polevskoy today. None of the five are fixed to the clock — they follow the sun, and the sun keeps different hours in every month.

A note on the method used

These times follow Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah. Methods differ mainly over Fajr and Isha, because each authority settles on a slightly different angle of the sun below the horizon — a few minutes either way is normal. Asr here follows the Hanafi reckoning, which places it noticeably later in the afternoon than the other schools would. Where your local mosque differs, follow the mosque — that is the timetable the congregation keeps.

The night in between

Polevskoy gets roughly 11 hours and 8 minutes of night between the last prayer and the first. The final third of the night carries particular weight in the tradition, and it is measured from Isha to Fajr rather than by the clock.

How the day runs in Polevskoy

Fajr opens the day at 5:55 am, well before first light. By 8:07 am the sun is up and Fajr's time has passed. Dhuhr follows at 12:43 pm once the sun has tipped past its highest point, and Asr at 3:25 pm. The sun goes down at Maghrib, 5:17 pm, and the day ends with Isha at 6:47 pm. That gives Polevskoy roughly 9 hours and 10 minutes of daylight today.

Finding the qibla

From this city the direction is south-south-west, or 212° if you prefer the number. Makkah is around 4,239 kilometres (2,634 miles) away in a straight line. Worth remembering that a phone compass points to magnetic north, which can sit several degrees off true north depending on where you are.

If you are fasting

Suhoor closes at 5:55 am in Polevskoy, with iftar at 5:17 pm. Roughly 11 hours and 22 minutes, going by today's figures. The monthly table further down shows the window widening or narrowing day by day, which helps when planning meals a week ahead.

Season by season in Polevskoy

There is a caveat to the summer timetable in Polevskoy. For several weeks around the solstice the sun does not dip deep enough for a true Fajr or Isha, and the calculated values become estimates. Local scholarly guidance takes over in that period.

Why Dhuhr lands where it does

The sun reaches its high point roughly 43 minutes after noon here. It explains the 12:43 pm Dhuhr — the timezone boundary is drawn some way from this city's own meridian. Nothing is wrong with the calculation; timezones are political lines, and the sun does not consult them.
