Ramadan 2027 in Lagos, Nigeria

Sehri and Iftar in Lagos

For Lagos, the evening fast opens at local sunset, shown as 6:28 pm today. The pre-dawn cutoff is calculated separately from the Fajr setting; sunrise is not used as the start of the fast. The page uses Lagos’s coordinates (6.52, 3.38) and the Africa/Lagos time zone.

Sunrise-to-sunset daylight in Lagos lasts 11 hours 56 minutes today, and the solstice-to-solstice change is comparatively small at this latitude. The fasting interval is longer than this daylight figure because it begins at Fajr before sunrise.

Solar noon in Lagos is 12:30 pm today, about 30 minutes after 12:00 on the local clock. That offset is one reason sunset can look unusually early or late when compared with another city that keeps the same time zone.

For comparison, sunset in Kano is 6:03 pm today, 25 minutes earlier than in Lagos. Travellers should therefore switch to the timetable for the place where they are actually observing the fast rather than carrying one city’s times across Nigeria.

This timetable uses the Karachi prayer calculation setting. The calculation notes explain how the site handles Fajr, Isha and unusual daylight conditions, so that general methodology is not repeated on every location page.
