How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Nyala is based on the astronomical sunset at 12.1°N, 24.9°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 Nyala'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 Nyala

Today's fasting duration

Today's fast in Nyala 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.

How Your Location Affects Fasting

Latitude

At 12.1°N and 661m elevation in the Khartoum timezone, Nyala 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 2.3 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 Ed Daein at 11.5°N, this results in about 2 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Nyala.

Why Iftar Times Differ Between Cities

Daily Sunset Progression In Nyala

In Nyala, 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 Nyala, following the seasonal daylight pattern at 12.1° latitude. This daily progression is characteristic of Nyala'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.

Nyala's Elevation

At 661m above sea level, Nyala'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 Nyala's exact location (12.05°N, 24.88°E), timezone (Africa/Khartoum), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Nyala today?

Iftar in Nyala today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Nyala's exact location (12.05°N, 24.88°E) at 661m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is local standard method.

When does Sehri end in Nyala?

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

How long is the fast in Nyala during Ramadan 2026?

Being near the equator at 12.1°, Nyala experiences relatively consistent fasting hours year-round, with minimal seasonal variation compared to other latitudes. Fasting hours in Nyala vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Nyala's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Nyala differ from Ed Daein?

Compared to Ed Daein, Nyala has sunset 5 minutes earlier than Ed Daein due to its more westerly position, and 183m 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. Nyala is at latitude 12.05°, while Ed Daein is at latitude 11.47°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Nyala?

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