In the UK, the winter periods are the most moderate fasting periods, and the 2026 winter season of Ramadan will have the least amount of overall daylight hours, giving the 2026 UK Ramadan season the least amount of hours to fast compared to other summer or spring seasons in previous years’ Ramadan seasons.
Therefore, the 2026 winter Ramadan season in the UK will have the least amount of hours to fast, with fasting periods lasting only 12 hours, and Iftar and Suhoor meal times will also be quick and short in Newcastle due to the winter season’s snow-filled and frozen lakes.

Conclusion

Those who want to take this spiritually uplifting event of Ramadan beyond the borders of Tyneside, there are 2026 Ramadan Umrah packages available which will make it easy for them to travel from the UK to the Holy Cities of Mecca and Medina for the purpose of fasting there.
