Baku is the capital of Azerbaijan, with a population of about 2,351,300. It uses the Azerbaijan Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Baku).
Baku does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+4 all year round. The time difference with places that do change their clocks — such as most of Europe and North America — therefore shifts by one hour twice a year.
Other cities on the same clock include Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Yerevan, Tbilisi, Muscat, Port Louis.
Because Baku lies at 40.38° N, 49.89° E, the length of the day changes strongly through the year: around the June solstice there are about 15 h 03 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 9 h 17 min.
