Frequently asked questions
How does the Ramadan fast in Ladysmith compare with the longest day?
The first fast is about 14h 40m, a little shorter than the year's longest, 15h 32m, and the last, about 13h 49m, is shorter again. Ramadan 2027, expected around 8 February to 8 March, shrinks as the month goes.
How long is the shortest fasting day in Ladysmith?
11h 43m from Fajr to Maghrib, on 21 June, which is the solstice itself. The longest, 15h 32m on 17 December, comes a few days before the 22 December solstice, so the year's two extremes are about six months apart.
Why is Ladysmith's Isha earliest in early June?
6:30 PM on 2 June is when twilight ends soonest, because the winter sun sets early. Isha then moves later week by week, reaching 8:30 PM on 1 January.
When is Fajr earliest in Ladysmith?
3:23 AM on 1 December, three weeks before the 22 December solstice. It is latest on 26 June at 5:30 AM, so the earliest and latest are separated by more than two hours.
