Fast length is measured from Fajr, when the fast begins, to Maghrib, when it opens — not from sunrise, which is around 92 minutes later on the first day. The average fast this Ramadan is 14h 35m. Fasts get shorter by 1h 05m between the first day and the last, because the daylight hours in Cape Town are shortening as the month runs — so the last ten nights are noticeably easier than the first ten.

Suhoor ends at Fajr and iftar is at Maghrib. Taraweeh is shown 15 minutes after Isha as a convention — your masjid sets its own time. Calculated with the Moonsighting Committee Worldwide method, Shafi'i Asr, from -33.9249, 18.4241. Dates follow the Umm al-Qura calendar and may differ by a day from local moonsighting.
Understanding these times
Why your masjid's suhoor time differs
The Fajr angle is the single biggest cause, and it is worth twenty to thirty minutes.
Fasting at high latitudes
Above roughly 48° the Fajr calculation can fail, and the fallback rule changes the fast by hours.
Daily prayer times in Cape Town
Today's times, the full month and the qibla direction, all year round.
