Lankaran, Azerbaijan Β· UTC+4
Convert time from Lankaran
Lankaran is in the Asia/Baku timezone (AZT/UTC+4), a fixed offset with no daylight saving since Azerbaijan abolished it in 2016.
Lankaran sits at the southern end of Azerbaijan, where the Talysh Mountains descend to a narrow subtropical coastal strip along the Caspian Sea. The city is known within Azerbaijan for its mild, humid climate, tea plantations, and citrus groves, an anomaly in a largely semi-arid country. It runs on Asia/Baku time: UTC+4, year-round. Azerbaijan abolished daylight saving in 2016.
The subtropical microclimate here is a product of the mountains catching moisture from the Caspian and blocking cold continental air. Lankaran receives more rainfall than anywhere else in Azerbaijan, and the tea grown on its hillsides (Azerbaijani tea is a cultural institution) depends on that moisture.
tea, citrus, and the Talysh borderlands
At 38 degrees north, Lankaran has meaningful seasonal daylight variation: about 9.5 hours in December, 15 in June. The permanent UTC+4 offset, without DST, means that summer evenings are not as extended by the clock as they would be with a seasonal adjustment, but Azerbaijanβs decision to stop adjusting clocks in 2016 has been broadly accepted.
The cityβs proximity to Iran, just across the Aras River to the south, creates an interesting dual-culture character. Talysh people straddle the border, sharing language and culture across the international divide.
9am in Lankaran is 5am in London, four hours ahead of GMT.
