Wednesday will mark the longest fasting hours in Ramadan this year at 15 hours and 52 minutes, Egypt’s National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics said in a statement.
Starting Thursday, the fasting hours will decrease one minute each day until it drops down to 15 hours and 37 minutes on the last day of Ramadan, 16 July.
Temperatures in Cairo will reach highs of 32 and lows of 21 degree Celsius, on Wednesday, the seventh day of the Islamic holy month.
The temperatures have declined in the past three days around Egypt after a heatwave hit the country during the first three days of Ramadan, with temperatures hovering between 38 and 40 degrees.
Muslims abstain from food and drink during daylight hours, from sunrise to sunset during Ramadan.
The institute also said that Ramadan this year will last for 29 days, as the moon will appear as a half-moon on Wednesday, thus marking the end of the first quarter in the lunar month.

Salah al-Abd, Head of Confectionery Industry Division with the Federation of Chambers of Commerce, said that the market is witnessing a stagnation in sales of Eid al-Fitr by 20 percent, compared to last year.
Al-Abd told Al-Masry Al-Youm on Monday that the recession is due to the increase in the prices of confectionery due to the increase in the prices of flour, butter, sugar and nuts.
The highest number of confectionery buyers were companies, which buy the treats to distribute them as gifts to workers on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, he said; adding that 90 percent of companies were committed to the same quantity they bought last year.
The prices of confectionery increased by 15 percent compared to last year, Abd said.
Kahk prices start from LE85 per kilo, while Ghorayeba and biscuits start from LE75. The price of a package of Kahk at some confectioners has even reached as high as LE500.
The semi-governmental National Council for Women (NCW) issued a report on Monday saying that 35 cases of harassment against women were documented on the first day of Eid El-Fitr, with several resulting in legal complaints.
The NCW said that 13 cases of verbal harrassment were documented in Fustat Park in south Cairo, while 22 cases of physical harrassment were documented at Giza Zoo.
Meanwhile, Reda El-Danbouky, the executive director of the Women's Center for Guidance and Legal Awareness (WCGLA), told Ahram Online that the independent group's hotline had received 19 complaints of verbal harassment and 12 of physical harassment in downtown Cairo on the first day of Eid.
The Eid holiday normally witnesses a surge in reported cases of sexual harassment. Typical scenarios involve groups of men, typically youths, verbally and physically harrassing women and girls on the street.
In general, the vast majority of Egyptian women report suffering some form of street harassment on a daily basis, according to UN figures.
In an official statement last week, the NCW said that it had launched an operations room to respond to harassment during the Eid holiday, with lawyers conducting field visits and tagging along police personnel during security campaigns.
The WCGLA operation room covers the governorates of Cairo, Alexandria, Daqahliya, and Kafr El-Sheikh, making use of a telephone hotline and volunteers in the field.
El-Danbuky said girls and women are still afraid to file legal complaints against harassers and fear the social stigma that comes with complaining.
In recent years, the interior ministry has deployed female police officers to the streets during Eid to confront sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment has been criminalised in Egypt in 2014, with violators facing minimum jail terms of six months and/or fines of EGP 3,000 to EGP 5,000.
Harassment is defined in the law as using physical, verbal or electronic communication, or any other action, that carries sexual or pornographic connotations.
The holy month of Ramadan will start on on Thursday 17 May in Egypt, the country's Grand Mufti Shawki Allam announced Tuesday evening.
Allam's announcement came during a celebration of the holy month organised by Egypt's Dar El-Ifta on Tuesday.
The Grand Mufti said Ramadan will start on Thursday, as the crescent moon by which the start of the Islamic holy month is measured, was not observed on Tuesday.
On the 29th day of the preceding month, Shaaban, Muslim scholars observe the new crescent in the sky after the sun sets. If they see it, the following day marks the beginning of Ramadan; if not, then Ramadan will commence the day after.
In an exclusive video to Al-Ahram Arabic news portal, the Grand Mufti congratulated Muslims worldwide ahead of the commencement of the holy month.
"We pray for peace, security, stability, and serenity around the world," Allam said in a video message.
The length of Islamic lunar calendar months, the ninth of which is Ramadan, varies between 29 and 30 days.
During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from drinking and eating from dawn until dusk.
In the holy month, Muslims fast for a full lunar month. The fasting begins at the fajr call to prayer, just before sunrise, and is broken at sundown.
Eid Al-Fitr, or "the feast of breaking the fast," is a three-day religious holiday marking the end of Ramadan, which is celebrated by Muslims worldwide.
