Ramadan 2027 Suhoor & Iftar Times by City
Suhoor ends at dawn and iftar begins at sunset — two simple rules behind every fasting timetable. Here is what the times mean, why they differ between cities, and how to get exact times for Ramadan 2027.
The two anchors of the fasting day
Every Ramadan timetable is built from two astronomical moments:
- Suhoor ends at Fajr (dawn) — the last moment you may eat and drink before the fast begins. In winter, dawn arrives a little earlier each day, so suhoor times creep earlier through the month.
- Iftar begins at Maghrib (sunset) — the moment the fast is broken. As Ramadan 2027 runs from early February into early March, sunset gets a little later each evening, so iftar times creep later too.
Everything else on a timetable — imsak, the pre-dawn warning time, and the day length — is derived from these two points.
Ramadan 2027 begins on or around 8 February 2027. In February, cities in Europe and North America fast roughly 11–13 hours: suhoor around 5–6 a.m. in London and 5–6 a.m. in New York, with iftar around 5 p.m. in London and 5:40–6:00 p.m. in New York. The exact minutes vary by city and calculation method.
The single most reliable way to know your times: use a tool that computes them from your city's coordinates, then confirm against your local mosque's published timetable.
Why times differ between cities — and between mosques
Prayer and fasting times are computed from latitude, longitude and the sun's position, so every city has its own times. But even within one city you will often see two slightly different timetables. The reasons are practical:
- Calculation method — the angle used to define Fajr and Isha differs by school and region: ISNA (used widely in North America) uses 15°, MWL uses 18°, and so on. This can shift Fajr by several minutes.
- Regional standard — some communities follow Umm al-Qura (used in Saudi Arabia), the Egyptian General Authority, or the Karachi method. These are conventions, not errors.
- Sightings vs calculation — a mosque may adjust to a local moon sighting or a central announcement, which can move a day boundary.
The practical rule: match the method your community uses. Our Prayer Times tool lets you switch between ISNA, MWL, Umm al-Qura, Egyptian and Karachi methods for 20+ cities, so you can usually reproduce your local timetable exactly.
How the month unfolds, day by day
Because Ramadan 2027 sits in late winter, the fasting day gets longer as the month goes on. Around 8 February, London's suhoor is roughly 5:40 a.m. and iftar around 5:05 p.m. (about 11h20m of fasting). By early March, suhoor is around 4:55 a.m. and iftar around 5:50 p.m. (about 12h55m). New York follows the same pattern, roughly an hour later in the evening.
That daily drift is normal — plan your suhoor alarm a few minutes earlier each week, and your iftar a few minutes later. Our Suhoor & Iftar countdown tool computes live times and counts down to both moments, so you never need to re-read a printed table mid-month.
For a complete 30-day view with suhoor, imsak and iftar for every day of Ramadan 1448, the Ramadan 2027 city times calendar covers New York, Houston, Chicago, Dallas, London and more.
What about high latitudes and unusual cases?
Fasting times are straightforward anywhere the sun visibly rises and sets. The edge cases arrive at high latitudes — cities far north where dawn and sunset behave differently in summer, or where twilight can last most of the night.
For a February Ramadan, most populated cities in Europe and North America are comfortably within the normal range, but a few northern communities follow special rulings: some follow the nearest city with a visible dawn, some use a fixed portion of the night, and others follow the timetable of Makkah. There is no single rule, which is exactly why the standard advice applies — follow the practice of your local community and its scholars. If your city is unusual, ask your mosque before the month begins rather than guessing from a generic timetable.
Three small habits that make the timings easier
1. Set suhoor by Fajr, not by a fixed clock
Alarms drift with the calendar; Fajr doesn't. If you aim for 10–15 minutes before Fajr, you are eating at the right time all month without rechecking.
2. Keep a margin for imsak
Many timetables add an imsak buffer a few minutes before Fajr to be safe. Stop eating at imsak and you will never accidentally cross the boundary.
3. Break the fast at sunset exactly
Maghrib is the moment, not a minute after. The countdown tool is useful here — it ticks down to the exact minute so you can sit down just before it hits zero.
Frequently asked questions
What time is suhoor in Ramadan?
Suhoor ends at dawn (Fajr). It moves a few minutes earlier each day — check the exact minute for your city with the prayer times tool.
What time is iftar in Ramadan?
Iftar is at sunset (Maghrib). It gets a few minutes later each day as spring approaches.
Why do two mosques in my city publish different times?
They use different calculation methods or regional standards. Differences of a few minutes are normal — match the method your community follows.
How long is fasting in Ramadan 2027?
Roughly 11–13 hours across Europe and North America in February 2027, growing slightly longer through the month.
Can I print a full month of times?
Yes — the Ramadan 2027 city times calendar is printable and covers the whole month for major cities.
Times are astronomical calculations and can differ from local timetables by a few minutes — please confirm with your local scholars or mosque.
