About the time in Kandahār
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.
Kandahār sits at latitude 31.61, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 09m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Clocks in Kandahār stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +4:30 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Afghanistan.
