How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Tampere is based on the astronomical sunset at 61.5°N, 23.8°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 Tampere'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 61.5°N and 110m elevation in the Helsinki timezone, Tampere is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 12 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 0.4 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 180 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Lahti at 61.0°N, this results in about 2 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Tampere.

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.

Tampere's Elevation

At 110m above sea level, Tampere'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 Tampere's exact location (61.50°N, 23.76°E), timezone (Europe/Helsinki), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Tampere today?

Iftar in Tampere today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Tampere's exact location (61.50°N, 23.76°E) at 110m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is international default standard.

When does Sehri end in Tampere?

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

How long is the fast in Tampere during Ramadan 2026?

Due to Tampere's high latitude of 61.5°N, Ramadan will see extreme variations in fasting duration — expect fasts ranging from under 9 hours in winter to over 18 hours in summer. Fasting hours in Tampere vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Tampere's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Tampere differ from Lahti?

Compared to Lahti, Tampere has sunset 8 minutes earlier than Lahti 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. Tampere is at latitude 61.50°, while Lahti is at latitude 60.98°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Tampere?

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