About the time in Kandahār
Kandahār runs on Asia/Kabul, which puts the city UTC +4:30 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.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Kandahār 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.
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.
