About the time in Shāh Jōy
Clocks in Shāh Jōy stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +4:30 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Afghanistan.
If you are coordinating from another country, the shortcut is the working window: a normal Shāh Jōy day of 09:00–17:00 falls between 04:30–12:30 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.
Shāh Jōy sits at latitude 32.50, in the mid-latitude band, so day length here swings noticeably between midwinter and midsummer — today's 13h 10m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
