Why Ramadan moves about 11 days earlier each year
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. A lunar year has about 354 days, roughly 11 days shorter than the solar year, so Ramadan starts about 11 days earlier every year and passes through every season over about 33 years. In some years it begins twice in the same Gregorian year, as in 2030.
Islamic months begin with the sighting of the new crescent moon, so the actual start can differ by one day from the dates below depending on your country and moon-sighting authority. The dates here are astronomical estimates close to the Umm al-Qura calendar; your local mosque or Islamic centre will confirm the exact day.
How the countdown is worked out
The target is midnight at the start of the first day of Ramadan in your device's time zone. The time left is the difference between that moment and now, split into whole days, hours, minutes and seconds. Sleeps are the calendar days from today to the day itself, and weekdays to go count Monday to Friday dates from tomorrow up to the day before. On the day itself the page celebrates, and the next day it switches to the following date.
