By the following evening, astronomical conditions are expected to be highly favourable for moon sighting across much of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The department said weather conditions in most parts of Pakistan, including Sindh, are likely to support visibility of the crescent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Karachi, the PMD said observers will have a relatively long window to sight the moon. The crescent is expected to remain above the horizon for around 64 minutes after sunset, with visibility possible until approximately 8:28pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PMD\u2019s forecast is based on scientific and astronomical calculations, which indicate a strong possibility of the moon being visible on July 15.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the department clarified that the official and religious announcement regarding the beginning of Safar will be made by Pakistan\u2019s Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee after reviewing moon sighting testimonies received from across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement follows the traditional Islamic lunar calendar system, which bases the beginning of each month on the physical sighting of the new moon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI: The Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will meet on July 15, Wednesday (tomorrow) for Safar 1448 AH moon sighting.
