How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Port Sudan is based on the astronomical sunset at 19.6°N, 37.2°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 Port Sudan'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.

At 19.6°N and 10m elevation in the Khartoum timezone, Port Sudan is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 3 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 0.0 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 45 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Jeddah at 21.5°N, this results in about 8 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Port Sudan.

This daily progression is characteristic of Port Sudan's subtropical 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.

Port Sudan's Elevation

At 10m above sea level, Port Sudan'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 Port Sudan's exact location (19.62°N, 37.22°E), timezone (Africa/Khartoum), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Iftar time in Port Sudan today?

Iftar in Port Sudan today is the astronomical sunset time shown at the top of this page. Check the precise time, which is calculated for Port Sudan's exact location (19.62°N, 37.22°E) at 10m elevation. The calculation uses the MWL 18° method, which is local standard method.

When does Sehri end in Port Sudan?

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

How long is the fast in Port Sudan during Ramadan 2026?

At 19.6°N, Port Sudan experiences moderate seasonal variation in daylight, affecting fasting duration throughout Ramadan. Fasting hours in Port Sudan vary daily throughout Ramadan as sunset and Fajr shift with the season. The times shown on this page are calculated for Port Sudan's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Port Sudan differ from Jeddah?

Compared to Jeddah, Port Sudan has sunset 8 minutes earlier than Jeddah due to its more westerly position, and being further south means it has shorter fasting days during Ramadan. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Port Sudan is at latitude 19.62°, while Jeddah is at latitude 21.54°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Port Sudan?

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