Ramadan begins in much of Asia a day after the Middle East, following the traditional Hijri calendar that relies on new moon sightings. The start date and fasting duration varies per location due to factors such as moon sighting methods, weather, and the 11-day shorter Hijri calendar, causing it to move around the Gregorian calendar annually. Fasting hours will shorten in the Northern Hemisphere until 2031.
