Uses the Muslim World League standard (18° astronomical twilight), widely accepted globally.
Iftar time in Tacloban is based on the astronomical sunset at 11.2°N, 125.0°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 Tacloban lasts 11h 59m, which is approximately 20 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are remaining stable, as equatorial regions have consistent day length.
At 11.2°N and 7m elevation in the Manila timezone, Tacloban 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 0.0 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 Ormoc at 11.0°N, this results in about 1 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Tacloban.
Tacloban's sunset is approximately 5 minutes earlier than Talisay, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Tacloban's sunset is approximately 5 minutes earlier than Cebu City, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Tacloban's sunset is approximately 5 minutes earlier than Toledo, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
In Tacloban, 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 Tacloban, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 11.2° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Tacloban's equatorial 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 7m above sea level, Tacloban'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 Tacloban's exact location (11.24°N, 125.00°E), timezone (Asia/Manila), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
Iftar in Tacloban today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Tacloban's exact location (11.24°N, 125.00°E) at 7m elevation. The calculation uses the Umm al-Qura 18.5° method, which is common in equatorial regions.
Sehri end time in Tacloban 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 Tacloban's exact coordinates using the Umm al-Qura 18.5° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.
Being near the equator at 11.2°, Tacloban experiences relatively consistent fasting hours year-round, with minimal seasonal variation compared to other latitudes. Fasting hours in Tacloban vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Tacloban's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.
Compared to Ormoc, Tacloban has sunset 2 minutes later than Ormoc due to its more easterly position. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Tacloban is at latitude 11.24°, while Ormoc is at latitude 11.01°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
The Umm al-Qura 18.5° method is most commonly used by mosques in Tacloban. However, the best method for you depends on your local mosque or Islamic authority. We provide multiple standards on this page: Umm al-Qura 18.5°, 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.
