How Are These Times Calculated?

Iftar time in Inverness is based on the astronomical sunset at 57.5°N, 4.2°W. 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 Inverness'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 57.5°N and 18m elevation in the London timezone, Inverness is in the temperate zone, where seasonal daylight changes are noticeable. During Ramadan in spring, fasting hours increase by about 12 minutes each day. Your elevation adds roughly 0.1 minutes to sunset timing.

By mid-Ramadan (day 15), you'll have gained an extra 180 minutes of fasting compared to the first day. Compared to Perth at 56.4°N, this results in about 4 minutes of difference. These gradual daily changes are a defining feature of fasting in Inverness.

This daily progression is characteristic of Inverness's extreme northern 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.

Inverness's Elevation

At 18m above sea level, Inverness'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 Inverness's exact location (57.48°N, 4.22°W), timezone (Europe/London), and the current season to determine accurate sunset times throughout Ramadan.

When does Sehri end in Inverness?

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

How long is the fast in Inverness during Ramadan 2026?

Due to Inverness's high latitude of 57.5°N, Ramadan will see extreme variations in fasting duration — expect fasts ranging from under 9 hours in winter to over 18 hours in summer.

The times shown on this page are calculated for Inverness's exact location so you can plan your fast accordingly.

Why does Iftar in Inverness differ from Perth?

Compared to Perth, Inverness has sunset 3 minutes earlier than Perth due to its more westerly 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. Inverness is at latitude 57.48°, while Perth is at latitude 56.40°. Even small differences in latitude and elevation create measurable shifts in when sunset occurs.

Which calculation method should I use for Iftar in Inverness?

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