This year Ramadan started yesterday, and ends on August 19. Moving the

But moving it to the southern hemisphere would have.
How?
By cutting the sunrise-to-sunset fasting period of the day to a much
shorter period.
That, and although not relevant to Vancouver so much, going without water on a
hot summer day is much harder than doing the same on a winter day. It's winter
in the southern hemisphere.
Of course, Glen is in Bangkok, so it's hot any day of the year.
