Because Kiruna is located at a high latitude of 67.86° N, it encounters the 'Persistent Twilight' phenomenon during the summer.

During the month of March, the solar path in Kiruna results in a shifting schedule. The Maghrib window is moving 4 minute(s) later by tomorrow. The Islamic night in Kiruna spans from sunset to dawn.
