About the time in Alphen
Sunrise today lands at 06:32 and sunset at 08:50 local time, giving 14h 19m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (51.82, 5.47) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Alphen.
Alphen runs on Europe/Amsterdam, which puts the city UTC +2 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
The zone identifier Europe/Amsterdam is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but Europe/Amsterdam keeps pointing at Amsterdam time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
