Sun behaviour here follows the subtropical pattern of the northern hemisphere, with the steepest seasonal day-length swings around the equinoxes.
Visitors will find prices listed in BDT; phones reach Bangladesh via the +880 country code. Beyond the live clock, every datapoint on this page — sun events, holidays, time-zone offsets — is also available as machine-readable JSON, ready for agents and integrations.
