About the time in Karatay
The zone identifier Europe/Istanbul is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Istanbul keeps pointing at Istanbul time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Karatay sits at latitude 37.94, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 24m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Clocks in Karatay stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +3 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Turkey.
