How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Toulouse is based on the astronomical sunset at 43.6°N, 1.4°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 Toulouse'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 43.6°N and 155m elevation in the Paris timezone, Toulouse is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 5 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 0.5 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 75 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Perpignan at 42.7°N, this results in about 4 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Toulouse.

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.

Toulouse's Elevation

At 155m above sea level, Toulouse'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 Toulouse's exact location (43.60°N, 1.44°E), timezone (Europe/Paris), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Fasting hours in Toulouse vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Toulouse's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Toulouse differ from Perpignan?

Compared to Perpignan, Toulouse has sunset 6 minutes earlier than Perpignan due to its more westerly position, and 115m higher elevation creates a slightly later 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. Toulouse is at latitude 43.60°, while Perpignan is at latitude 42.70°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Toulouse?

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