How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Idanre is based on the astronomical sunset at 7.1°N, 5.1°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 Idanre'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 Idanre

12h 2m
Today's fasting duration

Today's fast in Idanre lasts 12h 2m, which is approximately 20 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are remaining stable, as equatorial regions have consistent day length.

Latitude

At 7.1°N and 353m elevation in the Lagos timezone, Idanre 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 1.2 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 Akure at 7.3°N, this results in about 1 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Idanre.

Why Iftar Times Differ Between Cities

Idanre's sunset is approximately 0 minutes earlier than Ado-Ekiti, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.

Daily Sunset Progression In Idanre

In Idanre, 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 Idanre, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 7.1° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Idanre'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.

Idanre's Elevation

At 353m above sea level, Idanre'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 Idanre's exact location (7.09°N, 5.13°E), timezone (Africa/Lagos), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Idanre today?

Iftar in Idanre today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Idanre's exact location (7.09°N, 5.13°E) at 353m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is standard across West Africa.

When does Sehri end in Idanre?

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

How long is the fast in Idanre during Ramadan 2026?

Being near the equator at 7.1°, Idanre experiences relatively consistent fasting hours year-round, with minimal seasonal variation compared to other latitudes. Fasting hours in Idanre vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Idanre's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Idanre differ from Akure?

Idanre and Akure share nearly identical sunset times due to their close proximity. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Idanre is at latitude 7.09°, while Akure is at latitude 7.25°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Idanre?

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