About the time in Centrum
The zone identifier America/Paramaribo is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Paramaribo keeps pointing at Paramaribo time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Sunrise today lands at 06:35 and sunset at 06:50 local time, giving 12h 16m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (5.07, -54.96) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Centrum.
Clocks in Centrum stay put all year. There is no summer-time switch to remember, so UTC −3 is what you will get in January and in July alike — useful if you book recurring calls with people in Suriname.
