About the time in Ankeny
Ankeny is on daylight saving time at the moment, which is why the offset reads UTC −5 instead of its winter value. Clocks go back on 1 November 2026, and anything scheduled across that date shifts by an hour.
Ankeny runs on America/Chicago, which puts the city UTC −5 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.
Sunrise today lands at 06:30 and sunset at 08:04 local time, giving 13h 35m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (41.73, -93.60) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Ankeny.
