The regional centre and nearby places

Lənkəran District surrounds the major southern city of Lənkəran, although the city has a separate administrative status. Lənkəran remains the area’s largest and most important urban centre and is the most useful reference for transport, services, weather, and time.

Limان is another city in the district, commonly rendered as Liman in English text. Haftoni is also a recognised settlement associated with the Lənkəran area. Administrative boundaries should be checked when classification matters, but these places all use the same civil time.

Lənkəran is the main city and regional urban centre. Liman is another city in the district. Haftoni is a further local settlement. All follow AZT at UTC+4.

Sunrise across coast and lowland

Sunrise near Lənkəran is governed by the date and the observer’s coordinates. It does not remain at one clock time, even though the time-zone offset remains unchanged. Day length, sunrise, sunset, and twilight progress through an annual cycle.

The area reaches toward the Caspian lowland while terrain rises farther inland. As a result, an entry calculated for central Lənkəran is a strong regional reference but not an exact substitute for every village. Longitude and latitude affect the astronomical calculation, while hills and buildings affect the visible horizon.

For an early departure, distinguish dawn from sunrise. Civil twilight can provide some light before the Sun appears, but cloud and fog may reduce visibility. For a coastal photograph, the Sun’s direction, the horizon, and weather conditions deserve attention alongside the listed time.

Always request a solar result for the intended date. Reusing a value from a previous season can produce an unsuitable plan, despite the reassuring fact that the official clock itself never shifted.
