About the time in Van
Around 1,128,749 people live in Van, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Sunrise today lands at 06:07 and sunset at 05:37 local time, giving 11h 29m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.41, 43.72) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Van.
Clocks in Van 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.
