When is ramadan

Many Muslims around the world will begin fasting on Monday to mark the start of the holy month of Ramadan.

This year, Ramadan will begin in the evening on Sunday, March 10, and end on Tuesday, April 9.

The start of Ramadan is determined by the Islamic lunar calendar, which begins with the sighting of the crescent moon by local religious authorities and astronomers, and can sometimes vary from country to country.

It also means the month begins a week and a half earlier each year, cycling through the seasons, including the long days of hot summers.

More than 1.8 billion Muslims, who account for around a quarter of the world’s population, are expected to observe Ramadan.
