What time is it in Kyrgyzstan?

Kyrgyzstan stays on UTC+6:00 all year. Its offset from UTC never moves, so its relationship to places that do change shifts twice a year instead — which is usually why someone checks. Right now it is 6 hours ahead of UTC, and 11 hours ahead of New York.

Bishkek is 11 hours ahead of New York and 14 hours ahead of Los Angeles. 9am in New York is 8:00 pm in Bishkek.

To convert a specific time rather than read the current one, the converter shows both directions with the next clock change for each.

The day is 9 hours 50 minutes long in Bishkek, and losing 2 minutes a day. The sun peaks at 12:45 pm, 45 minutes after noon on the clock. A UTC offset is a promise that the sun is overhead at midday on one meridian, and Bishkek sits 62 minutes of solar time west of UTC+6:00’s. The rest is the equation of time, which swings about a quarter of an hour either way across the year.

The solar year swings 6 hours 20 minutes in Bishkek: 15 hours 21 minutes of daylight at the June solstice against 9 hours 1 minute at the December one. Being north of the equator, its longest day falls in June — the opposite way round from the other hemisphere.

Kyrgyzstan has kept UTC+6:00 since Sunday, March 27, 2005, when it moved from UTC+5:00. Before that its clocks read 1 hour behind what they read now.
