How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Orebro is based on the astronomical sunset at 59.3°N, 15.2°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 Orebro'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.

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.

Orebro's Elevation

At 35m above sea level, Orebro'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 Orebro's exact location (59.27°N, 15.20°E), timezone (Europe/Stockholm), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

When does Sehri end in Orebro?

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

How long is the fast in Orebro during Ramadan 2026?

Why does Iftar in Orebro differ from Vasteras?

Compared to Vasteras, Orebro has sunset 5 minutes earlier than Vasteras due to its more westerly position. The primary cause is the longitude difference between the cities — roughly 4 minutes of time difference per degree of longitude. Orebro is at latitude 59.27°, while Vasteras is at latitude 59.62°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.
