Ramadan in winter, starting next year.. Details

Weather of Arabia - Sinan Khalaf - Between one year and another, the Hijri year is 11 days behind the Gregorian year, so that the month of Ramadan approaches with it more and more from the winter season, the short hours of the day, the length of the night, and its low temperatures.

Astronomical calculations indicate that the sighting of the crescent of the month of Ramadan for this year will coincide exactly with the same day on which we bid farewell to the winter season and receive the first days of spring, as it is expected that most Arab and Islamic countries will investigate the crescent of the month of Ramadan for this year on the day of the spring equinox, which falls on March 21. Climatically, it means more moderate temperatures and higher chances of rain.

When will Ramadan coincide with the winter months?

As we mentioned, the month of Ramadan creeps slowly, with a time difference estimated at 11 days compared to the Gregorian months, and it continues to advance with this time difference, moving away from spring until it begins coinciding with the winter season in the year 1445 AH / 2024 AD, i.e. exactly one year later, to continue to coincide with winter for a period of 8 Years, during which, year after year, it approaches autumn by 11 days, to begin coinciding with autumn, starting in the year 2032 AD.
