How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Gedaref is based on the astronomical sunset at 14.0°N, 35.4°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 Gedaref'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.

Latitude

At 14.0°N and 605m elevation in the Khartoum timezone, Gedaref 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 2.1 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 Singa at 13.1°N, this results in about 4 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Gedaref.

Tomorrow's fast will be approximately 1 minute longer than today in Gedaref, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 14.0° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Gedaref'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.

Gedaref's Elevation

At 605m above sea level, Gedaref'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 Gedaref's exact location (14.03°N, 35.38°E), timezone (Africa/Khartoum), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Gedaref today?

When does Sehri end in Gedaref?

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

How long is the fast in Gedaref during Ramadan 2026?

Being near the equator at 14.0°, Gedaref experiences relatively consistent fasting hours year-round, with minimal seasonal variation compared to other latitudes. Fasting hours in Gedaref vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Gedaref's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Gedaref differ from Singa?

Compared to Singa, Gedaref has sunset 6 minutes later than Singa due to its more easterly position, and 164m 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. Gedaref is at latitude 14.03°, while Singa is at latitude 13.15°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Gedaref?

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