About the time in Askenish
The zone identifier America/Jamaica is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Jamaica keeps pointing at Jamaica time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 05:56 and sunset at 06:35 local time, giving 12h 39m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (18.38, -78.15) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Askenish.
Askenish sits at latitude 18.38, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 39m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
