3 atlas cities
All three cities share the same civil time, yet the sun reaches its highest point after clock noon in each. Yangon, Mandalay, and Nay Pyi Taw all lie west of the zone's meridian, so solar noon lags behind the clock rather than arriving early, a pattern consistent across the whole group rather than particular to any one city.

A positive figure means the clock runs ahead of the sun — midday on the clock arrives before the sun reaches its highest point.
