About the time in Austin
Around 4,295 people live in Austin, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
Austin runs on America/Indiana/Indianapolis, which puts the city UTC −4 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 07:04 and sunset at 08:27 local time, giving 13h 23m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (38.74, -85.81) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Austin.
