About the time in Kabul
Sunrise today lands at 05:18 and sunset at 06:35 local time, giving 13h 17m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (34.53, 69.17) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Kabul.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Kabul day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 04:30–12:30 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.
Kabul sits at latitude 34.53, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 17m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
