Ashgabat runs on Asia/Ashgabat, which puts the city UTC +5 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Sunrise today lands at 06:26 and sunset at 07:53 local time, giving 13h 27m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (37.95, 58.38) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ashgabat.
