Current Time in Kazan, Russia

How Kazan Keeps Time

Kazan keeps MSK, UTC+3. The live clock normally synchronizes to the site time source and then applies the IANA rules for Kazan; until synchronization succeeds, it uses the device clock as a fallback. Daylight-saving changes are applied only where that zone actually observes them.

Kazan runs on the Europe/Moscow zone in the IANA time zone database, which is UTC+3 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 Kazan at 6:35 am today and sets at 4:19 pm — 9 hours 44 minutes of daylight, with solar noon at 11:27 am. Those times come from the city’s coordinates (55.79, 49.12), so they shift a little every day of the year.

On the two solstices, Kazan has about 17 hours 34 minutes of daylight in June and 7 hours in December. The difference is about 10 hours 34 minutes, which shows how strongly the local daylight cycle changes through the year.

MSK is one of several zones in Russia, so a time quoted for the country as a whole is not necessarily the time here. Check the city rather than the country when it matters.
