The clock: Qom keeps UTC+3:30. Iran's half-hour offset has been in use since at least 1935, apart from 1977–79, placing solar noon closer to clock noon across the whole country.
Qom lies at 50.9°E. Its time zone, UTC+3:30, is built around the 52.5°E meridian. The 1.6° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 6 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:06 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+3:30 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 29m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 9h 50m. The swing between them is 4h 39m. At this latitude the seasons are visible in the clock, but never dramatic.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Qom the sun comes up earliest on 13 June at 04:53, while the latest sunset waits until 1 July at 19:23. 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 Qom that civil twilight runs about 25 minutes at the equinox, stretching to 30 minutes at the solstice.
