About the time in Baykal
Baykal sits at latitude 51.87, in the temperate-north band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 14h 20m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:54 and sunset at 08:14 local time, giving 14h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (51.87, 104.80) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Baykal.
Baykal runs on Asia/Irkutsk, which puts the city UTC +8 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.
