History
How Uzbekistan keeps time.
Standard time reached Uzbekistan in 1924, under Soviet rule: Tashkent and the east used UTC+5, while Samarkand and the west used UTC+4. In 1930 the Soviet Union moved clocks forward an hour, putting Tashkent on UTC+6 and Samarkand on UTC+5, and from 1981 both also observed Soviet summer time. In 1991, the year of independence, Tashkent returned to UTC+5, putting the whole country on one offset, and Uzbekistan has not observed daylight saving time since.
Did you know?
Things about Uzbekistan's time.
Despite covering a significant east-west span, Uzbekistan has only one official time zone, creating a notable mismatch between clock time and solar time. In the far western city of Nukus, the sun peaks about 50 minutes later than in the eastern city of Andijan, meaning people in different parts of the country experience daylight at significantly different clock times.
