Fasting this Ramadan longest in 32 years: 15 hrs & 15 mins expected
Longest in last 32 solar years and 33 lunar years, says Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Researcher, Sharjah Planetarium
Fasting hours during the Holy month of Ramadan this year will be the longest ever, according to a researcher at the Sharjah Planetarium.
The fasting hours this year is expected to be 15 hours and 15 minutes, which will be the longest in the last 32 solar years and 33 lunar years, Ibrahim Al Jarwan, Researcher in Astronomy, Meteorology and General Supervisor of the Planetarium, told ‘Al Roeya’ newspaper.
He said each year fasting hours increase from that of the previous year. This will continue until the Holy month in 2018 when the duration of fast will begin to decrease gradually.
Al Jarwan said the temperatures during the Holy month will range between 42°C and 44°C and may increase to touch 50°C in interior desert areas during heat waves. Temperatures will rise every two weeks and may hit 48°C and 50°C for a day or two, he added. However, on most days temperatures will be around 42-43°C.
According to astronomical calculations, fasting hours during the Holy month will vary depending on the date of beginning of the four seasons.
Al Jarwan stressed that the planetarium is keen to launch awareness campaigns to educate people on the importance of keeping themselves hydrated during Ramadan.

Where will you fast the longest - and where least - in Ramadan
Denmark to observe 21 hours of fasting; Australia 10 hours
The number of hours of fasting during the holy month of Ramadan varies from one country to another according to the latitude and longitude.
Muslims in Denmark will observe the longest fasting period in the world - for 21 hours, according to the latest maps recording fasting hours across the world.

Meanwhile, people in the UAE will fast for about an average 14 hours and 51 minutes. According to astrologers, the northern hemisphere will observe not only the longest fasting period but also the most heat in at least 33 years during this Ramadan. This is because of the Sun passing over the Tropic of Cancer in the northern hemisphere, making it the peak of summer in the northern hemisphere and winter in the southern hemisphere.
