Uses the Muslim World League standard (18° astronomical twilight), widely accepted globally.
Iftar time in Oradea is based on the astronomical sunset at 47.1°N, 21.9°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 Oradea lasts 11h 31m, which is approximately 160 minutes longer than at the start of Ramadan. Fasting hours are increasing gradually as daylight lengthens in the spring season.
At 47.1°N and 124m elevation in the Bucharest timezone, Oradea 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 0.4 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 Arad at 46.2°N, this results in about 4 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Oradea.
Oradea's sunset is approximately 11 minutes later than Târgu-Mureş, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Oradea's sunset is approximately 9 minutes later than Sibiu, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
Oradea's sunset is approximately 15 minutes later than BraÅŸov, primarily due to longitude differences between the cities.
In Oradea, sunset shifts slightly. Specifically, today's sunset occurs 1m later than yesterday.
Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 8 minutes longer than today in Oradea, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 47.1° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Oradea's temperate 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 124m above sea level, Oradea'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 Oradea's exact location (47.07°N, 21.92°E), timezone (Europe/Bucharest), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.
Iftar in Oradea today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Oradea's exact location (47.07°N, 21.92°E) at 124m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is local standard method.
Sehri end time in Oradea 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 Oradea's exact coordinates using the MWL 18° method, though you can compare other calculation standards on this page.
At 47.1°N, Oradea experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Oradea vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Oradea's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.
Compared to Arad, Oradea has sunset 2 minutes later than Arad due to its more easterly 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. Oradea is at latitude 47.07°, while Arad is at latitude 46.17°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
The MWL 18° method is most commonly used by mosques in Oradea. 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.
