Current Time in Peshawar, Pakistan

How Peshawar Keeps Time

Peshawar keeps PKT, UTC+5. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Peshawar; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Peshawar runs on the Asia/Karachi zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+5 right now. There is no daylight saving here, so that offset holds all year and the difference to other places only changes when they move their own clocks.

The sun rises in Peshawar at 6:26 am today and sets at 5:29 pm — 11 hours 3 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 11:57 am. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (34.01, 71.58), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Peshawar has about 14 hours 25 minutes of daylight in June and 9 hours 53 minutes in December. The difference is about 4 hours 32 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.
