About the time in Samarkand
The zone identifier Asia/Samarkand is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Samarkand keeps pointing at Samarkand time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Samarkand sits at latitude 39.65, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 32m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Clocks in Samarkand 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 Uzbekistan.
