About the time in Thalavai
The zone identifier Asia/Colombo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Asia/Colombo keeps pointing at Colombo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Thalavai sits at latitude 7.81, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 20m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:56 and sunset at 06:16 local time, giving 12h 20m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (7.81, 81.60) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Thalavai.
