How prayer times in Balashikha change through the year
Prayer times in Balashikha change noticeably between the seasons. Around the summer solstice (21 June) Fajr is at about 2:00 AM and Maghrib at 9:17 PM, giving a day of 17 h 34 min. Around the winter solstice (21 December) Fajr moves to 6:50 AM and Maghrib to 3:56 PM, and the day lasts only 7 h.
