Why Ramadan falls when it does in 2030
Ramadan is fixed in the Hijri calendar, which is purely lunar with no leap month at all. Twelve lunar months run about eleven days shorter than a solar year, so the Gregorian date walks steadily backwards through the seasons and returns to the same point roughly every thirty-three years — 11 days earlier than in 2029.
Ramadan falls twice in 2030 — Saturday, January 5, 2030 and Thursday, December 26, 2030. A Hijri year is about 354 days, so a holiday early in one Gregorian year can return before it ends.
