About the time in Wattegama
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.
Wattegama sits at latitude 6.80, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 18m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Clocks in Wattegama stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC +5:30 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Sri Lanka.
