Palembang was the centre of Srivijaya, a maritime power that dominated the Strait of Malacca from roughly the 7th to the 13th century and controlled much of the trade between India and China.

Palembang lies at 104.8°E. Its time zone, UTC+7, is built around the 105°E meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:01, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. The zone holds UTC+7 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 December, with 12h 18m of daylight. The shortest is 22 June, with 11h 57m. The swing between them is 21 minutes. Within a few degrees of the equator the length of the day barely moves all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Palembang the sun comes up earliest on 7 November at 05:38, while the latest sunset waits until 8 February at 18:22. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Palembang that civil twilight runs about 21 minutes at the equinox.
