How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Lodz is based on the astronomical sunset at 51.8°N, 19.5°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 Lodz'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 Lodz

11h 26m
Today's fasting duration

Today's fast in Lodz lasts 11h 25m, which is approximately 160 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are increasing rapidly as daylight extends at your high northern latitude.

Latitude

At 51.8°N and 212m elevation in the Warsaw timezone, Lodz is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 8 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 0.7 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 120 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Warsaw at 52.2°N, this results in about 2 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Lodz.

Daily Sunset Progression In Lodz

In Lodz, sunset shifts slightly. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 1m later than yesterday.

Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 8 minutes longer than today in Lodz, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 51.8° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Lodz's high 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.

Lodz's Elevation

At 212m above sea level, Lodz'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 Lodz's exact location (51.78°N, 19.45°E), timezone (Europe/Warsaw), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Lodz today?

Iftar in Lodz today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Lodz's exact location (51.78°N, 19.45°E) at 212m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is international default standard.

When does Sehri end in Lodz?

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

How long is the fast in Lodz during Ramadan 2026?

At 51.8°N, Lodz experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Lodz vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Lodz's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Lodz differ from Warsaw?

Compared to Warsaw, Lodz has sunset 6 minutes earlier than Warsaw due to its more westerly position, and 100m higher elevation creates a slightly later sunset. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Lodz is at latitude 51.78°, while Warsaw is at latitude 52.23°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Lodz?

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