Uses the Muslim World League standard (18° astronomical twilight), widely accepted globally.
Iftar time in Linz is based on the astronomical sunset at 48.3°N, 14.3°E. This timing already accounts for atmospheric refraction, marking the moment the sun appears to dip below the horizon.
Local Confirmation: While our Iftar times are accurate, we recommend checking with your local mosque for any community-specific adjustments or moon sighting variations.
Today's fast in Linz lasts 11h 30m, which is approximately 160 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are increasing gradually as daylight lengthens in the spring season.
At 48.3°N and 272m elevation in the Vienna timezone, Linz 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 1.0 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 Salzburg at 47.8°N, this results in about 2 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Linz.
Linz's sunset is approximately 9 minutes earlier than Regensburg, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Linz's sunset is approximately 11 minutes earlier than Munich, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Linz's sunset is approximately 11 minutes earlier than Ingolstadt, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
In Linz, sunset shifts slightly. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 1m later than yesterday.
Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 8 minutes longer than today in Linz, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 48.3° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Linz's temperate latitude position, where seasonal astronomical shifts directly affect fasting duration throughout Ramadan.
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.
At 272m above sea level, Linz'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.
Iftar times are calculated using precise astronomical algorithms from NOAA, based on Linz's exact location (48.31°N, 14.29°E), timezone (Europe/Vienna), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
Iftar in Linz today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Linz's exact location (48.31°N, 14.29°E) at 272m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is local standard method.
Sehri end time in Linz 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 Linz's exact coordinates using the MWL 18° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.
At 48.3°N, Linz experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Linz vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Linz's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.
Compared to Salzburg, Linz has sunset 5 minutes later than Salzburg due to its more easterly position, and 148m lower elevation results in a slightly earlier sunset, 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. Linz is at latitude 48.31°, while Salzburg is at latitude 47.80°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
The MWL 18° method is most commonly used by mosques in Linz. 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°. Check with your mosque to confirm which they recommend, then use that method from the options available above.
