| UTC Offset: UTC +9 |
Yakutsk Time (YAKT) operates at UTC+9 year-round and is the official time zone for the central and western parts of the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), as well as Amur Oblast and Zabaykalsky Krai in Russia. Sometimes called "Central Yakutia Time," YAKT does not observe daylight saving time and provides a stable, uniform time reference for these large, climatically challenging regions of eastern Siberia.
Importance and Global Use of YAKT
Yakutsk Time (YAKT) is vital for supporting government services, education, healthcare, and transportation in central and western Yakutia and neighboring regions. The consistent UTC+9 offset allows for smooth coordination of public activities, energy systems, and industrial operations in areas that face extreme weather and geographic isolation.
Globally, YAKT supports links between Russia and the Asia-Pacific, helping coordinate trade, aviation, and scientific research with other countries on similar or nearby time zones. This consistency strengthens cooperation across borders and ensures efficient scheduling for shipping, air traffic, and regional development initiatives in eastern Russia.
