How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Perth is based on the astronomical sunset at -32.0°N, 115.9°E. This timing already accounts for atmospheric refraction, marking the moment the sun appears to dip below the horizon.

Sunset Calculation: Times are generated using precise astronomical calculations based on Perth's latitude, longitude, elevation, and timezone.
Optional Buffers: Communities can apply +3, +5, or +15 minute safety margins if desired, though these are for personal or local preference rather than necessity.

Local Confirmation: While our Iftar times are accurate, we recommend checking with your local mosque for any community-specific adjustments or moon sighting variations.

Latitude

At -32.0°N and 64m elevation in the Perth timezone, Perth is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 3 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 0.2 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 45 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Adelaide at -34.9°N, this results in about 12 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Perth.

Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 3 minutes longer than today in Perth, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 32.0° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Perth's subtropical latitude position, where seasonal astronomical shifts directly affect fasting duration throughout Ramadan.

How Iftar Times Work

Atmospheric Refraction

Earth's atmosphere bends light, causing the sun to appear slightly higher on the horizon than its actual position. This atmospheric refraction effect is already accounted for in our calculations, giving you the precise moment when the sun appears to cross below the horizon.

Perth's Elevation

At 64m above sea level, Perth's elevation affects when sunset occurs. Higher elevations see the sunset slightly later than lower areas. This elevation adjustment is included in all our calculations.

Astronomical Calculations

Iftar times are calculated using precise astronomical algorithms from NOAA, based on Perth's exact location (-31.96°N, 115.86°E), timezone (Australia/Perth), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Perth today?

Iftar in Perth today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Perth's exact location (-31.96°S, 115.86°E) at 64m elevation. The calculation uses the ISNA 15° method, which is recommended by Australian Federation of Islamic Councils.

When does Sehri end in Perth?

Sehri end time in Perth marks when the fast begins in the morning. During Ramadan, this time shifts daily as sunrise moves earlier or later. The time shown on this page is calculated for Perth's exact coordinates using the ISNA 15° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.

How long is the fast in Perth during Ramadan 2026?

At -32.0°S, Perth experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Perth vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Perth's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Perth differ from Adelaide?

Compared to Adelaide, Perth has sunset 91 minutes earlier than Adelaide due to its more westerly position, and being further north means it has longer fasting days during Ramadan. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Perth is at latitude -31.96°, while Adelaide is at latitude -34.93°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Perth?

The ISNA 15° method is most commonly used by mosques in Perth. However, the best method for you depends on your local mosque or Islamic authority. We provide multiple standards on this page: ISNA 15°, ISNA 15°, Umm al-Qura 18.5°, and Diyanet 20°. Check with your mosque to confirm which they recommend, then use that method from the options available above.
