Ramadan 2027 in Anchorage, United States

Sehri and Iftar in Anchorage

For Anchorage, the evening fast opens at local sunset, shown as 6:15 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 Anchorage’s coordinates (61.22, -149.90) and the America/Anchorage time zone.

Sunrise-to-sunset daylight in Anchorage lasts 9 hours 4 minutes today. Across the June and December solstices that daylight span differs by about 13 hours 55 minutes at this latitude. That helps explain why Ramadan feels very different when the lunar month returns in another season, but it should not be read as the fasting duration because Fajr occurs before sunrise.

Solar noon in Anchorage is 1:43 pm today, about 103 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 Boston is 5:46 pm today, 270 minutes earlier than in Anchorage. 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 United States.

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.
