About the time in Balkanabat
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Balkanabat day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 04:00–12:00 UTC. Convert your own hours into UTC once and you can tell at a glance whether someone there is likely to be at their desk.
Sunrise today lands at 06:40 and sunset at 08:11 local time, giving 13h 31m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (39.51, 54.35) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Balkanabat.
Balkanabat sits at latitude 39.51, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 31m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
