How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Graz is based on the astronomical sunset at 47.1°N, 15.4°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 Graz'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.

At 47.1°N and 365m elevation in the Vienna timezone, Graz is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 8 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 1.3 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 120 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Vienna at 48.2°N, this results in about 5 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Graz.

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.

Graz's Elevation

At 365m above sea level, Graz'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 Graz's exact location (47.07°N, 15.44°E), timezone (Europe/Vienna), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Graz today?

Iftar in Graz today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Graz's exact location (47.07°N, 15.44°E) at 365m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is local standard method.

When does Sehri end in Graz?

Sehri end time in Graz 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 Graz's exact coordinates using the MWL 18° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.

How long is the fast in Graz during Ramadan 2026?

At 47.1°N, Graz experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Graz vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Graz's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Graz differ from Vienna?

Compared to Vienna, Graz has sunset 4 minutes earlier than Vienna due to its more westerly position, and 173m higher elevation creates a slightly later sunset, and being further south means it has shorter fasting days during Ramadan. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Graz is at latitude 47.07°, while Vienna is at latitude 48.21°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Graz?

The MWL 18° method is most commonly used by mosques in Graz. However, the best method for you depends on your local mosque or Islamic authority. We provide multiple standards on this page: MWL 18°, ISNA 15°, Umm al-Qura 18.5°, and Diyanet 20°.
