About the time in Herāt
Around 574,300 people live in Herāt, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Herāt sits at latitude 34.35, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 16m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
The zone identifier Asia/Kabul is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Kabul keeps pointing at Kabul time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
