About the time in Balkan
Balkan sits at latitude 40.00, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 30m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Around 529,895 people live in Balkan, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
The zone identifier Asia/Ashgabat is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Ashgabat keeps pointing at Ashgabat time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
