How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Gode is based on the astronomical sunset at 6.0°N, 43.6°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 Gode'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.

Today's Fast In Gode

Latitude

At 6.0°N and 293m elevation in the Addis_Ababa timezone, Gode is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 1 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 1.0 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 15 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Jijiga at 9.3°N, this results in about 14 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Gode.

Daily Sunset Progression In Gode

In Gode, sunset remains virtually unchanged. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 0m at the exact same time as yesterday.

Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 1 minute longer than today in Gode, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 6.0° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Gode's equatorial 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.

Gode's Elevation

At 293m above sea level, Gode'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 Gode's exact location (5.95°N, 43.55°E), timezone (Africa/Addis_Ababa), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Gode today?

Iftar in Gode today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Gode's exact location (5.95°N, 43.55°E) at 293m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is local standard method.

When does Sehri end in Gode?

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

How long is the fast in Gode during Ramadan 2026?

Being near the equator at 6.0°, Gode experiences relatively consistent fasting hours year-round, with minimal seasonal variation compared to other latitudes. Fasting hours in Gode vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Gode's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Gode differ from Jijiga?

Compared to Jijiga, Gode has sunset 3 minutes later than Jijiga due to its more easterly position, and 1352m lower elevation results in a slightly earlier 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. Gode is at latitude 5.95°, while Jijiga is at latitude 9.35°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Gode?

The MWL 18° method is most commonly used by mosques in Gode. 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.
