About the time in Karachi
Around 11,624,219 people live in Karachi, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:08 and sunset at 07:02 local time, giving 12h 54m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (24.86, 67.01) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Karachi.
Clocks in Karachi stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +5 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Pakistan.
