Local time in Soma runs on the TRT, UTC+03:00 clock; with roughly 65.9K residents the city (rank #155 by population in this dataset) is a working reference point inside Türkei.
The coordinates 39.19°N, 27.61°E put Soma roughly 4350 km from the equator in the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, which is why the page expects clear seasonal daylight differences across the year.
Today the sun rises around 06:13 AM and sets around 08:00 PM in Soma — about 13h 47m of daylight. Türkei stays on standard time here, so UTC+03:00 is stable through the year.
Kırkağaç (10 km from Soma) gives this page its nearest commuter and travel cluster, with 10 curated airport pages indexed for Türkei.
Soma planners should mark 2026-05-01 (Labour Day); that's the next national holiday signal in view.

On 13 May 2014, blasting at Eynez coal mine in Soma, Manisa, Turkey, caused an underground mine fire, which burned until 15 May. In total, 301 people were killed, making it the worst mine disaster in Turkey's history. The mine, operated by coal producer Soma Kömür İşletmeleri A.Ş., suffered a fire, the causes of which were later found to be complex. The fire occurred at the mine's shift change, when 787 workers were underground. At the time, the disaster was thought to be mainly an explosion rather than fire. After the last bodies were pulled from the mine on 17 May 2014, four days after the fire, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Taner Yıldız confirmed the number of dead was 301. Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD) announced the names of the 301 workers who died in the mine disaster and the 486 miners who survived.
Distance-wise, Soma is closest to London (~2,541 km), Dubai (~3,013 km), New York (~8,107 km); Sydney is the far end at roughly 15,022 km. That ordering matters more than the timezone label for travel planning.

Turkey’s permanent UTC+3 policy since 2016 is one of its strongest timezone facts.
