Novosibirsk is Russiaβs third-largest city and the de facto capital of Siberia, sitting on the Ob River at the junction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. The city is young by Russian standards: it was founded in 1893 during railway construction and grew explosively through the Soviet industrialization drives. It now holds over 1.5 million people in the middle of the continent, 3,200 kilometers east of Moscow.
Russia abolished seasonal time changes in 2014, and Novosibirsk used the opportunity to move its clocks forward one hour to UTC+7, where they remain year-round. The IANA identifier is Asia/Novosibirsk. This means that in winter, when Moscow is at UTC+3, Novosibirsk is 4 hours ahead. The city used to be 3 hours ahead of Moscow for part of the year; now itβs always 4.
At 55 degrees north, the seasonal light variation in Novosibirsk is extreme. June brings over 17 hours of daylight and white nights where it never gets fully dark. January brings under 8 hours, with intense Siberian cold that can push temperatures below -40 degrees. The city was designed for this climate: underground passages connect major buildings, and the central heating system runs communally from massive district heating plants.
