We here up the north fast using the times of the nearest islamic country or times of Saudi Arabia. Here is the reason:
Nightless nights begin in northernmost Finland
18th of May
Residents of Utsjoki, Finland’s northernmost municipality will begin experiencing the delights of the nightless night from Monday. The so-called white nights will last until July 15.
Although temperatures in northernmost Finland are still below freezing and balmy summer seems a distant thought, residents of the country’s far north have been experiencing the time of the midnight sun.
At this time of the year, the sun will not dip below the horizon and may shine for up to 300 hours during June and July.
According to Helsinki University’s Almanac Office – which is the arbiter of all things relating to almanacs – the sun set at 42 minutes past midnight on Sunday, making Monday the first day of the midnight sun.
However since Sunday’s sunset occurred in the wee hours of Monday, some might also argue that Sunday saw the first nightless night.
South of Utsjoki in somewhat more densely-populated Sodankylä the white nights will arrive two weeks later, according to the almanac keepers.
-------------------------
At the south fasting time would be over 20 hours.
