Notes:
- Expected sightings are solely estimates and may only be affirmed by actual sightings by qualified Muslims in relevant geographical areas.
- Forecasted dates based on analysis of extensive astronomical data, visibility charts from multiple sources, and high probability of naked eye moon-sighting by significant number of Muslims somewhere on the globe.
- Dates with asterisks(*) have a lesser degree of certainty, as the actual dates could fall on the preceding or following day. (See monthly announcements for details.)
- Dates with pound signs (#) were adjusted after receiving actual moon-sighting results. (See monthly announcements for details.)
