Ramazan moon likely to be sighted on March 11: Met Office

The Pakistan Meteorological Department has predicted that the Ramazan moon is likely to be sighted on March 11.

According to the Met Office, the Ramazan crescent will be born on March 10 at 2pm and will be over 28 hours old by March 11, making its sighting highly likely.

The Met Office further mentioned that on March 11, clear skies were expected in central and lower Sindh and Balochistan, while the upper regions of the country may not have favourable weather for sighting the crescent due to a western system and cloudy skies.

On the other hand, Ruet-e-Hilal Committee’s Research Council General Secretary Khalid Ejaz Mufti also stated that the first fast was likely to be observed on Tuesday, March 12.
