About the time in Karakol
Clocks in Karakol stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +6 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Kyrgyzstan.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Karakol day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 03:00–11:00 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.
Sunrise today lands at 05:59 and sunset at 07:40 local time, giving 13h 41m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (42.49, 78.39) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Karakol.
