This means from today the length of the day will be increasing in the Northern hemisphere while that of the night will be reducing. Also the duration of sunshine will increase, hence higher temperature will be experienced within the region.
From the above, it can be understood that this year’s Ramadan period will not be much different from last year’s as the fasting period will be more than 12 hours and the temperature will be high as well.
