About the time in Mercan
Mercan sits at latitude 41.01, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 31m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 06:21 and sunset at 07:52 local time, giving 13h 31m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.01, 28.97) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Mercan.
Clocks in Mercan 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.
