Lahore is a city in Pakistan, in Punjab, with a population of about 13,004,135. It uses the Pakistan Standard Time time zone (IANA identifier Asia/Karachi).
Lahore does not observe daylight saving time, so the clock stays on UTC+5 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 Karachi, Islamabad.
Because Lahore lies at 31.56° N, 74.35° E, the length of the day changes moderately through the year: around the June solstice there are about 14 h 13 min of daylight, and around the December solstice about 10 h 06 min.
