Did You Know?
Hafez died in 1390, and Iranians still open his collected poems at random to answer a question — fal-e Hafez. His tomb in Shiraz is one of the most visited sites in the country, and the practice is treated as a national pastime rather than a superstition.
The clock: Shiraz keeps UTC+3:30, one of the few half-hour offsets left. Iran dropped its seasonal clock change in 2022.
Shiraz lies at 52.5°E. Its time zone, UTC+3:30, is built around the 52.5°E meridian. The two very nearly coincide: solar noon — the moment the sun is highest — falls at about 12:00, which is as close to true solar time as a zone this wide can get. The zone holds UTC+3:30 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 14h 3m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 10h 15m. The swing between them is 3h 48m. 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 Shiraz the sun comes up earliest on 12 June at 04:59, while the latest sunset waits until 2 July at 19:04. 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 Shiraz that civil twilight runs about 24 minutes at the equinox.
Every figure in this section is computed from the city's own latitude, longitude and IANA time zone using NOAA solar algorithms (Spencer, 1971), accurate to about ±2 arcminutes below 65° latitude.
